Possible Causes
Failed bin level sensor stuck in a full state, sensor blocked by ice buildup, misaligned sensor, control board misinterpretation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before working inside the bin area.
- Clear ice buildup: Remove all ice from the bin and check for chunks lodged near the sensor area. Melt any ice blocking the sensor path.
- Clean and realign the sensor: Wipe the sensor lenses and ensure the emitter and receiver are aligned and secure.
- Check the harness: Inspect the sensor wiring for damage and reseat the connector at the control board.
- Test operation: Restore power and observe if the unit now recognizes an empty bin and resumes ice production.
- Replace the sensor or board: If the bin still reads full with no ice present, replace the bin level sensor. If the issue persists, the main control board may be faulty.
