How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning sensors.

  • Defrost sensor area: If frost is present around the bin sensor, allow it to melt or gently remove it with warm water.
  • Clean lenses: Wipe optical sensor windows with a soft, lint-free cloth.
  • Check alignment: Ensure the emitter and receiver are directly facing each other and not bent.
  • Inspect wiring: Verify the sensor harness is secure at both ends. Repair any damaged wires.
