Café Ice Level Sensing Failure – Underproduction

Ice maker shuts off too early; bin is only partially full when production stops.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Bin thermistor reading too warm, Optical sensor blocked by frost or bin liner, Loose sensor harness, Control board calibration issue

Safety First: Disconnect power before accessing sensors.

Steps:

Clean sensors: Wipe bin thermistor and optical sensor windows with a soft cloth to remove frost or residue.
Check bin position: Ensure the bin is fully seated and not pushing against sensors or blocking beams.
Inspect wiring: Reseat sensor connectors at the control board and check for damaged wires.
Replace faulty sensor: If readings are incorrect, install a new Café bin thermistor or optical sensor kit.
