Possible Causes
Faulty evaporator or ambient temperature sensor, Ice full sensor not detecting bin level, Stuck relay on main control board, Control board firmware fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit if it runs excessively hot or for many hours without stopping.
Steps to troubleshoot:
- Check sensors: Inspect and clean the evaporator temperature sensor, ambient sensor, and ice full sensor. Ensure they are properly mounted.
- Observe operation: After restarting, monitor whether the unit ever enters a harvest or standby mode.
- Replace suspect sensors: If readings are clearly wrong (e.g., unit thinks it is always warm), replace the affected sensor.
- Control board: If sensors are good but the unit never cycles off, the main control board relay or logic may be stuck and should be replaced.
