Possible Causes
Faulty bin full sensor, Misaligned IR sensor pair, Broken mechanical bin lever, Sensor wiring shorted
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before working near sensors.
- Verify sensor type: Identify whether your Amica model uses an IR sensor or mechanical lever for bin full detection.
- Test sensor response: With the unit powered, manually block the IR beam or lift the lever to simulate a full bin. If the machine does not stop, the sensor or its wiring is faulty.
- Clean and realign: Clean IR lenses and ensure they face each other directly. Adjust brackets if misaligned.
- Replace sensor: Install a new bin full sensor assembly if the existing one does not change state when actuated.
