Possible Causes
Faulty magnetic door switch, Misaligned door magnet, Broken bin presence switch, Loose switch wiring
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working on switches or wiring.
- Check door closure: Ensure the ice bin door or front flap closes fully and is not obstructed by ice or foreign objects.
- Inspect door magnet: Many Amica ice makers use a small magnet in the door to activate a reed switch. Verify the magnet is still in place and aligned with the switch location.
- Test switch: Access the switch behind the front panel. Use a multimeter to test continuity while opening and closing the door. Replace the switch if it does not change state.
- Check bin presence switch: If the unit has a bin detection switch, ensure the bin is correctly seated and actuates the switch. Adjust or replace the switch if necessary.
- Secure wiring: Reseat connectors and secure any loose wires with cable ties to prevent intermittent faults.
