Possible Causes

Dirty water level probes, Stuck float, Faulty water level sensor, Loose sensor wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before cleaning the reservoir sensor.

Steps:

  • Clean probes/float: Remove the ice basket and clean the water level probes or float with a soft cloth and vinegar-water solution to remove scale or slime.
  • Check float movement: If your model uses a float, ensure it moves freely up and down and is not jammed.
  • Inspect wiring: Access the sensor wiring from the rear/bottom and ensure the connector is secure.
  • Reset: After cleaning, refill the reservoir and restart the unit.

If the problem persists, the water level sensor assembly may be defective and require replacement.
