Possible Causes
Blocked or dirty bin sensor, Misaligned infrared sensor pair, Failed bin level switch, Control board not reading sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before working near sensors or wiring.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Clean sensors: Wipe the bin full sensor lenses or mechanical switch area with a soft cloth.
- 2. Check alignment: Ensure optical sensors face each other correctly and are not blocked by bin walls or ice.
- 3. Test switch: For mechanical switches, press the actuator and listen for a click. Replace if it does not operate smoothly.
- 4. Replace sensor: If the bin continues to overfill, replace the ice bin full sensor or level switch.
When to call a technician: If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the main control PCB may not be interpreting the signal correctly.
