How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before adjusting sensors.

Steps:

  • Break up ice: Remove the basket and separate any large clumps or bridges of ice that may be blocking the sensor path.
  • Re-seat basket: Ensure the basket is fully inserted and level so that ice falls away from the sensor area.
  • Clean sensor windows: Wipe the IR sensor windows on both sides of the basket area with a soft cloth.
  • Check alignment: Confirm that the sensors are directly facing each other and not tilted.
  • Replace sensor if needed: If the problem persists, the ice full sensor assembly may be weak or faulty and should be replaced.
