Ice maker overflows the bin with ice and does not stop production until manually turned off.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Bin full sensor disconnected, Sensor bracket broken, Control board ignoring full signal, Incorrect replacement sensor

Safety: Unplug the unit before servicing the bin sensor or control board.

Inspect sensor wiring: Ensure the bin full sensor harness is connected securely at both the sensor and control board.
Check bracket and position: Replace any broken sensor brackets and adjust so the sensor correctly monitors the ice level.
Verify correct part: Confirm any replacement sensor matches the original Westinghouse part number.
Replace control board: If the sensor tests good but the unit ignores the full condition, replace the main control PCB.
