How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before working near sensors and wiring.

  • Clean and inspect sensor: Clean the ice full sensor lenses and ensure they are aligned.
  • Check harness: Verify the sensor wiring is intact and firmly connected to the control board.
  • Test operation: With power restored, block the sensor with your hand or an object to simulate a full bin and see if the unit stops making ice.
  • Replace sensor or board: If the sensor does not respond, replace it. If a new sensor does not correct the issue, the control board may be faulty.
