Possible Causes

Stuck or broken bin full switch, Dirty or blocked optical sensor, Misaligned bin, Faulty control board input

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before working near the bin sensor.

Steps to correct:

  • Verify bin position: Ensure the ice bin is properly seated and not bypassing the sensor.
  • Clean sensor: For optical systems, clean emitter and receiver lenses. For mechanical levers, remove ice buildup.
  • Test switch: Use a multimeter to test the bin full switch for proper operation. Replace if stuck closed.
  • Monitor operation: After repair, run the unit and confirm it stops making ice when the bin is full.

When to call a technician: If the control board ignores a working sensor, board replacement may be needed.
