Hotpoint Control Not Reaching Satisfied Temperature or Level

Ice maker runs continuously and does not enter standby even when bin is full and cold.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Faulty bin thermistor, Ice full sensor not detecting ice, Control board logic fault, Ambient sensor misreading

Safety: Unplug before testing sensors.

Test bin thermistor: Measure resistance and compare to Hotpoint specs at known temperatures. Replace if out of range.
Verify full sensor: Clean and test the ice full sensor operation.
Check ambient sensor: Ensure it is properly located and reading correctly.

If sensors are good, the main control board may need replacement.
