Possible Causes

Faulty ice full sensor, Disconnected sensor harness, Control board not responding to full signal

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.
