Kenmore ice maker's cleaning light stays on or the unit repeatedly requests cleaning even after a clean cycle.

Safety First: Unplug the unit before accessing controls.

• Perform full cleaning: Run a complete cleaning cycle with approved cleaner, followed by thorough rinsing, as incomplete cleaning can keep the light on.
• Manual reset: Many Kenmore models require holding the CLEAN or RESET button for 3–10 seconds after cleaning to clear the indicator. Refer to the manual.
• Check clean button: Test the button for continuity when pressed. Replace the UI board if the button is not registering.
• Control replacement: If the light will not reset despite proper cleaning and button function, the main control board may need replacement.
