Possible Causes
Bin full condition sensed, Faulty bin level probe, Unit in CLEAN or OFF mode, Door or curtain switch open
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before adjusting sensors or switches.
Steps:
- Check mode and settings: Ensure the selector is set to ICE mode and not CLEAN or OFF. Reset any timers or lockouts per the manual.
- Empty bin: Remove excess ice to ensure the bin is not actually full and blocking sensors.
- Inspect bin level probe: Clean and realign the bin level probe or switch so it correctly detects ice level.
- Check door/curtain switch: Verify the bin door or water curtain closes fully and actuates its switch. Replace a faulty door/curtain switch if needed.
