There is no "-" or "+" so I tried turning it counterclockwise. If anything, it seemed worse so I turned it back to original and then clockwise a good 1/2 turn. I will let you know how I make out. Thanks Gene D

Nothing elses is on the outside of the icemaker. I had it out of the freezer. You need to remove 3 screws to get inside where the motor is. Is there anything to adjust in there?
