Possible Causes

Dirty infrared sensor window, Misaligned sensor bracket, Faulty ice full sensor PCB, Reflective object in sensor path

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before cleaning sensors.

  • Clean sensor lenses: Wipe the small windows on both sides of the ice basket area with a soft, dry cloth to remove condensation and dust.
  • Remove reflective items: Do not place shiny metal scoops or reflective objects in the sensor path.
  • Check basket position: Ensure the basket is correctly seated and not pushing against the sensor housing.
  • Power cycle: Unplug for 5 minutes, then restart to reset the sensor logic.

If the 'Ice Full' light remains on with an empty basket, the sensor assembly is likely faulty and should be replaced.
