We show that the Wang-Swendsen-Koteck\'y algorithm for antiferromagnetic $q$-state Potts models is nonergodic at zero temperature for $q=3$ on periodic $3m \times 3n$ lattices where $m,n$ are relatively prime. For $q \ge 4$ and/or other lattice sizes or boundary conditions, the ergodicity at zero temperature is an open question.
