Possible Causes
Failed ice level sensor, shorted sensor wiring, main control board not recognizing full bin
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before inspecting sensors or the control board.
Steps:
- Verify bin full: Confirm that the bin is actually full and that the ice level mechanism should be signaling "full".
- Test sensor: Clean and inspect the ice level sensor or arm. If moving the arm or blocking the sensor path does not stop production, the sensor may be faulty.
- Check wiring: Inspect the sensor harness for shorts or damage.
- Replace sensor: Install a new ice level sensor. If the problem persists, the main control board may need replacement.
