Possible Causes

Stuck ice level arm in down position, Faulty infrared level sensor, Disconnected sensor harness, Control board not reading sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working near moving parts.

  • Free the level arm: If equipped, ensure the mechanical arm can move up when the bin is full and is not blocked by ice or bin misalignment.
  • Clean optical sensors: Wipe the emitter and receiver lenses with a soft cloth to remove frost or dirt.
  • Check wiring: Verify the sensor harness is securely connected to the main PCB.
  • Replace sensor: If the sensor does not change state when the bin is full, replace the ice level sensor assembly.
