Possible Causes

Failed bin level sensor stuck in full state, sensor blocked by ice buildup, misaligned sensor, control board misinterpretation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before working inside the bin area.

  • Clear ice buildup: Remove all ice from the bin and check for chunks lodged near the sensor area. Melt any ice blocking the sensor path.
  • Clean and realign sensor: Wipe the sensor lenses and ensure emitter and receiver are aligned and secure.
  • Check harness: Inspect the sensor wiring for damage and reseat the connector at the control board.
  • Test operation: Restore power and observe if the unit now recognizes an empty bin and resumes ice production.
  • Replace sensor or board: If the bin still reads full with no ice present, replace the bin level sensor. If the issue persists, the main control board may be faulty.
