Water level error; unit fills too much or not enough, sometimes overflows into bin

Safety First: Unplug the ice maker and shut off water before working on the water system.

Procedure:

• Locate level control: On most Arktic ice makers, the water level is controlled by either a float switch in the reservoir or electronic probes.
• Clean float or probes: Remove the reservoir cover. If there is a float, move it up and down to ensure free movement. Clean any scale or slime with warm water and a mild vinegar solution. For probe-type sensors, gently clean the stainless probes with a non-abrasive pad.
• Check wiring: Inspect the harness from the float/sensor to the control board for loose connectors or corrosion. Reseat plugs firmly.
• Test switch: For float switches, use a multimeter to check continuity as you move the float. Replace the float switch if it does not change state.
• Replace sensor: If cleaning does not resolve E06 and wiring is intact, replace the water level sensor or float assembly with an OEM Arktic part.
