Unit displays E05; ice bin is empty and machine will not start a new cycle.

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before removing the bin or internal panels.

• Check bin position: Make sure the Adler ice storage bin is fully seated and not preventing the bin switch from closing.
• Inspect bin sensor: Locate the bin thermostat or optical level sensor near the top of the bin. Ensure the sensor arm or optical path is not blocked by ice or debris.
• Test thermostat: For mechanical bin thermostats, disconnect the leads and check continuity at room temperature. An open circuit when the bin is empty indicates a failed thermostat.
• Examine wiring: Follow the bin sensor harness back to the control board, checking for loose connectors or damaged insulation.
• Replace if defective: Install a new Adler bin thermostat or bin level sensor if testing confirms failure.
• Reset and test: Reassemble, restore power, and clear the E05 by power cycling. Confirm the unit starts a cycle with an empty bin.
