Possible Causes

Failed bin level sensor, Stuck mechanical shutoff arm, Control board not responding to bin full signal, Misaligned IR sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug before working on sensors.

Steps:

  • Check bin sensor: Clean and realign IR sensors or free any stuck mechanical arms.
  • Test sensor: Block the IR beam or lift the arm to simulate a full bin. If the unit does not stop, replace the bin level sensor or arm switch.
  • Control board: If a new sensor does not correct the issue, the main control PCB may not be processing the signal and should be replaced.
