Possible Causes
Loose sensor connectors, Oxidized contacts on PCB, Electrical noise or unstable power, Aging sensors drifting out of range
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing internal wiring.
Steps:
- Reseat connectors: Unplug and reattach all sensor connectors (water level, ice full, temperature) on the main PCB.
- Clean contacts: Use contact cleaner on oxidized connectors.
- Stable power: Plug the unit directly into a wall outlet, avoiding power strips with many devices.
- Replace suspect sensors: If one sensor is consistently implicated (e.g., low water), replace that specific sensor assembly.
