Possible Causes
Blocked ice level sensor window, Misaligned infrared emitter/receiver, Failed ice bin full switch, Broken sensor harness
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before reaching into the bin or sensor area.
- Empty and inspect bin: Remove the ice storage bin and check for ice bridging or clumps blocking the ice level sensor area.
- Clean sensor lenses: If your Camry model uses infrared sensors, gently clean the emitter and receiver windows with a soft, dry cloth. Do not scratch the lenses.
- Check mechanical switch: On models with a mechanical bin arm or switch, verify the arm moves freely and is not stuck in the "full" position. Clean away ice and debris.
- Inspect wiring: Follow the sensor wires back to the control board. Ensure connectors are tight and not corroded.
- Reset and test: Reinstall the bin, plug in the unit, and run a cycle. If E8 remains with an empty bin, the ice level sensor assembly may need replacement.
