Possible Causes

Dirty ice full sensor, misaligned sensor bracket, failed infrared sensor pair, reflective object in sensor path.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning sensors.

  • Clean sensors: Wipe the ice full sensor lenses with a soft, damp cloth. Dry thoroughly to prevent false readings.
  • Remove obstructions: Ensure no plastic bags, labels, or reflective surfaces are hanging into the bin area.
  • Check bracket: Confirm the sensor bracket is not bent and that the emitter and receiver face each other directly.
  • Test with basket removed: Plug in and power on with the basket removed. If the ICE FULL indication remains, the sensor assembly is likely faulty and should be replaced.
