Possible Causes
Defective water level sensor, Scale buildup on level probe, Loose sensor wiring, Faulty control board water level circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and close the water supply.
- Locate level sensor: On many Balay ice makers, a water level probe or float is installed in the reservoir or sump.
- Clean sensor: Remove mineral scale from the probe or float using a soft brush and a food-safe descaling solution. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Check movement: If a float is used, ensure it moves freely up and down without sticking.
- Inspect wiring: Verify that the sensor harness is intact and firmly connected to the control PCB.
- Replace sensor: If cleaning does not resolve the issue and the sensor tests open/shorted with a multimeter, replace the water level sensor assembly.
