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.
