Whynter Ice Bin Full Detection Failure

Unit overflows ice, bin does not stop filling

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

Stuck or broken bin full arm, Failed IR bin sensor, Sensor wiring shorted, Control board not responding to full signal

Safety: Unplug the unit before working on bin sensors or arms.

Steps to stop overfilling:

Inspect bin arm: Ensure the mechanical arm (if present) moves freely and is not stuck in the down position. Repair or replace if broken.
Clean IR sensors: For optical systems, clean the emitter and receiver lenses and ensure they are aligned.
Check wiring: Inspect the sensor harness for shorts or damage. Repair or replace as needed.
Control board: If the sensor is working but the unit ignores the full signal, replace the main control PCB.
