Frigidaire Gallery EFIC255 Nugget Ice Maker Repair
Most common issues on this model

The EFIC255 is a Gallery countertop nugget ice maker rated at about 44 lb per day, with touchscreen controls and a self-clean function. The full number appears with a finish suffix, for example EFIC255-BLACK, so we always read the complete label.
Nugget makers are popular on kitchen counters and in family rooms, and they put more demand on the water path than a basic cube maker does. When the ice turns soft or slushy, we look at scale on the freezing surfaces and the fill, and we check for water that is not draining away from the nugget bin. A grinding noise sends us toward the part that moves the ice, and an unresponsive touchscreen means testing the control panel and its connections.
Descaling often restores a unit that slows down, and we will tell you if that is all it needs. Any part we order is matched to the model and serial on the label, you approve a written price before work begins, and we give a 30-day workmanship warranty on our repairs.

Why is my nugget ice soft and wet?
Soft ice usually means the freezing surface is coated with scale or the water is not draining from the ice bin properly. We descale if needed, test the drain path and check that the unit is freezing the way it should.
What causes grinding noise from a countertop nugget ice maker?
The ice is pushed through a forming area, so a worn part, a buildup of minerals or a stuck piece of ice can all create a grinding sound. We turn the unit off, inspect the moving parts and then listen to it run before replacing anything.
Can the touchscreen on the EFIC255 be repaired?
If the screen is dead, we test the power to the panel and its connection first. A loose or damaged connection is a simple fix. A failed control panel is a part replacement, and we quote it in writing before ordering.
