Possible Causes

Bin full sensor stuck in full position, Water level too low, Door or lid switch open (on some models), Control board logic fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspecting sensors.

Steps:

  • Empty the bin: Remove all ice and ensure nothing is blocking the bin full sensor or mechanical arm.
  • Check water level: Fill the reservoir to the indicated max line with clean water. Some models will not start if the level is too low.
  • Door/lid switch: If your Northair model has a lid switch, ensure the lid closes fully and the switch actuator is not broken.
  • Reset control: Unplug the unit for 5 minutes, then plug back in and attempt to start a cycle.
  • Sensor replacement: If the bin full sensor or lid switch tests faulty with a multimeter, replace the defective component.

Note: Refer to the user manual for any child lock or control lock features that may need to be disabled.
