Possible Causes

Intermittent bin full sensor, Loose sensor harness, Firmware glitch in control board, Overheating control board

Safety First: Disconnect power before inspecting sensors or boards.

Inspect bin full sensor: Clean and check alignment. Wiggle the harness gently while monitoring for changes in operation (with power off during physical checks).
Reseat connectors: Unplug and reconnect the bin sensor and thermistor connectors at the control board.
Improve ventilation: Ensure the control compartment is not overheating due to blocked vents.
Replace sensor or board: If the problem persists, replace the bin full sensor first, then the main control board if needed.
