Possible Causes
Blocked or misaligned ice-full sensor, Failed IR receiver, Control PCB ignoring sensor input, Non-original basket blocking sensor beam
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before working near sensors.
- 1. Verify correct basket: Ensure you are using the original Lakeland ice basket supplied with the unit.
- 2. Clean and align sensors: Clean the ice-full sensor windows and ensure they face each other directly without obstruction.
- 3. Test sensor function: With the unit running and basket removed, interrupt the sensor beam with a non-reflective object. If the machine does not respond, the sensor or PCB is faulty.
- 4. Replace sensor or PCB: Replace the ice-full infrared sensor assembly. If the issue persists, the main control PCB may need replacement.
