Possible Causes

Dirty or misaligned ice full sensor, Reflective surfaces in basket area, Loose sensor bracket, Faulty infrared sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before adjusting the sensor.

Steps:

  • Clean sensor lenses: Wipe the ice full sensor windows with a soft, damp cloth to remove condensation, dust, or mineral film.
  • Check for reflections: Avoid placing shiny metal objects in the basket that could reflect the sensor beam.
  • Inspect alignment: Ensure the emitter and receiver are directly facing each other and that the bracket is not bent.
  • Secure wiring: Confirm the sensor wiring is not pulling the sensor out of position.

If false full indications continue, the ice full sensor assembly may need replacement.
