Possible Causes
Ice basket not seated correctly, Reflective surfaces or condensation interfering with infrared sensor, Weak infrared emitter, Mispositioned mechanical level arm
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensors.
- Reseat basket: Ensure the ice basket is fully inserted and not tilted. Some sensors rely on the basket position.
- Dry sensor area: Wipe away condensation or water droplets from the sensor windows and surrounding plastic.
- Avoid reflective objects: Do not place shiny utensils or foil near the sensor path inside the bin, as they can reflect the beam.
- Sensor replacement: If the problem persists, replace the ice full sensor module or mechanical level arm assembly.
