Possible Causes

Stuck bin full mechanical switch, Failed bin full optical sensor, Misaligned bin, Broken actuator arm

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before working around the bin area or sensors.

  • Check bin position: Ensure the ice bin is fully seated and not warped. Some models require the bin to depress a switch or align with an optical sensor.
  • Inspect actuator: Look for a plastic arm or lever that detects ice level. Make sure it moves freely and is not obstructed by ice clumps.
  • Clean sensor lenses: For optical systems, clean the emitter and receiver windows with a soft cloth to remove frost or residue.
  • Test switch: For mechanical switches, press the actuator and check continuity with a multimeter. Replace the switch if it does not change state.
  • Replace bin full sensor: If the sensor or switch is defective, install a new Electrolux bin full sensor assembly. Clear the error and verify that the unit stops when the bin is full.
