How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working near the ice full sensor or level arm.

Steps to stop overflow:

  • Clean sensor: Wipe the ice full sensor lenses or window to remove frost or debris.
  • Inspect level arm: If equipped, ensure the ice level arm is intact and moves freely. Replace if broken.
  • Check wiring: Verify that the sensor harness is connected securely to the control board.
  • Replace sensor: If the unit still does not stop when full, replace the ice full sensor assembly.
  • Control board: If a new sensor does not correct the issue, the main control board may be misinterpreting the signal and require replacement.
