Has anyone had a problem with ice cubes sticking to a new tray?
A tray that came with the fridge? I have one tray that gives me this problem all the time, but the other two that I bought from Amazon don't do this. They are all plastic, but, obviously, different kinds of plastic. Frustrating.

Actually, the ones I bought are worse! I was thinking of getting some silicone ones-everyone says they're good.

My suggestion is to try twisting it. Or you can run a little bit of room-temperature water over the back side of the tray, over as many cubes as you want to get out.
I'm tempted to go back to stainless steel ice trays because I'm concerned about chemicals leaching from plastic, even though it's not said to be a high risk if the plastic trays are frozen. If you want to keep using plastic, I'd stick with plastics # 1,2,4and 5 as the others are more toxic.

Yes in ours they were sticking and we had to bang them on the sink to get them out in the summer, online we found some silicon non stick ice trays so we now use then and they make our life's eaiser

Sorry, no - I've got one of those fridges that makes them for me. Try turning it upsidedown and running some hot water over the base of the tray to loosen then.

I have found that ice will stick in some of my trays whenever I stack them one on top of the other. when I didn't stack them, I didn't have that problem. I hope this helps.
