Possible Causes

Child lock or control lock enabled, Bin sensor indicating full, Programmed delay start, Faulty start/stop button

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal work is needed initially; follow user controls.

  • Check lock icon: If a lock symbol is shown, disable the control lock according to the Balay user manual (usually by holding a specific button combination).
  • Bin status: Empty the ice bin and ensure it is correctly seated. Clean the bin sensor area.
  • Delay timer: Verify that no delayed start program is active; cancel any timers.
  • Button test: If the start/stop button does not respond, the user interface PCB or button membrane may need replacement.
