How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensors.

Steps:

  • Empty and break up ice: Remove the bin and discard or break apart large clumps.
  • Check water level: Inspect the water level sensor and adjust if possible according to the service manual so that the reservoir does not overfill.
  • Inspect bin thermostat: Ensure the bin thermostat/thermistor is properly mounted and not causing the bin to run excessively cold.
  • Usage habit: Empty the bin more frequently if ice is not used regularly to prevent compaction.
