The bin has most likely failed. Apparently the bin insulation on the DCE33 eventually gets saturated with water and loses it's insulation ability. Consequently the ice melts prematurely. Condensation starts to build up inside the bin because it's not cold enough adding to the problem as the water drips on the new ice inside the bin.
Mine is 5-yrs old and I was told that it's all the life I'll get out of it.
If everything else is workng properly, harvest time, cube size, cold water spray, then a new bin is the unfortunate solution.

Check the bridge size adjustment at the top of the metal grid that the ice forms on. This determines the size of the cubes. Whenever you make a repair on the water system, especially on an older unit. make sure the unit is clean. A little bit of calcium deposits (or that other nasty looking stuff) getting into the passage ways will make it run erratically, and can drive you nuts.

Check that the condenser is clean, the plastic sheet is hanging over the opening and trhat both spray nozzles are in place.

Could be in need of cleaning with some nickleguard ice machine cleaner. Or maybe a restriction in the pump? How about a scotsman repair manual?
I have both. Hope this one is it

yes to drain line. Clean the condensor and evaporator first. Check the spray jets to see it they are clogged. There is a screen on the inlet water valve as well. Check door seals and cabinet tight.
All else fails look for oil around the hot gas valve.

Since my ice maker keeps making ice. I just lined the inside of the ice maker with styrofoam cut to fit, wrapped in plastic bags. Now my ice maker is full to the brim with ice....and should keep working for a while longer!!!
