Possible Causes
Failed ice level optics board, Dirty or blocked ice level sensor window, Misaligned ice bin or sensor bracket
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before working around the ice bin and sensor boards.
Steps:
- Locate ice level sensor: Many Viking models use infrared optics on the side walls of the ice compartment.
- Clean sensor windows: Use a soft cloth and mild soap solution to clean the emitter and receiver windows. Dry thoroughly.
- Check bin position: Ensure the ice bin is fully seated and not blocking the sensor beam.
- Visual inspection: Inspect the optics boards for corrosion, cracked housings, or loose connectors.
Corrective action: If cleaning and reseating do not restore normal operation, replace the ice level optics kit (emitter and receiver boards) as a set to ensure proper calibration.
