Possible Causes
Ice level sensor stuck in 'empty' position, IR sensor blocked or misaligned, failed bin thermostat, control board ignoring full signal
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before working around the bin sensor.
Steps:
- 1. Empty bin: Remove excess ice to prevent spillage and allow access to sensors.
- 2. Inspect ice level sensor: Clean mechanical levers or IR lenses to ensure they can detect ice properly.
- 3. Test sensor: Use a multimeter to verify that the sensor changes state when the bin is full vs. empty. Replace if it does not.
- 4. Check wiring: Confirm the sensor harness is connected securely to the control board.
- 5. Replace control board: If the sensor is working but the unit continues to make ice when full, the control board may be defective.
