I've been battling this issue for about a year. The refrigerator came with the house when we bought it 4 years ago. Up until a year ago, everything worked fine. FYI, I replaced the entire ice maker assembly a couple of months ago and I'm adjusting the water fill screw as the ice cubes come out with the little bar between them indicating overfilling. I'm working on that problem.

However, the problem I have no clue about is that the ice cubes in the ice bucket keep getting melted and re-frozen. I tried buying some duct insulation from Lowes and wrapping the ice bucket in that. This helped some, but I'm still having the problem. The ice dispenser now doesn't/can't work at all because the first cubes to melt and re-freeze are those in the bottom rear of the ice bucket (which I've also replaced as the previous one broke due to trying to dispense ice cubes which had melted and frozen together again). The freezer is running at pretty-close to 0 degrees F, so that isn't the issue.

I suspect that the problem is the auto-defrost. That is the only thing I believe could be injecting warm air into the freezer and melting the ice cubes. Because it worked fine up until a year ago, something must have gone wrong, but I don't have a clue. Any ideas? Thanks in advance,
