calling for ice, BC proximity switch is closed (green "BC CLOSED" LED on). When BC
actuator paddle is engaged, BC proximity switch opens (yellow "BC OPEN" LED on) and
CB shuts down the unit according to the chart below.

1. Bin Control Check
To check BC, follow the steps below.
1) Turn off the power supply and clear any ice away from BC.
2) Remove the front panel, top panel, and right side panel, then move the control switch to
the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the control box cover.
4) Disconnect the red BC connector from CB RED K4 connector.
5) If BC is accessible from the dispenser unit/storage bin, continue to step 7. If BC is
not accessible from the dispenser unit/storage bin, follow the instructions below to
remove BC.
a. Loosen the screws securing the control box, then lift the control box off and hang it
from the base. See Fig. 1.
b. Remove the insulation. Remove the thumbscrews securing the bin control assembly,
then remove the bin control assembly.
6) Check for continuity across the wires of the red connector. When the actuator paddle is
not engaged, BC switch is closed. If open, check that BC cable connector is properly
connected and that the actuator paddle is not sticking. Clean if necessary. See
"II.D.2. Bin Control Cleaning." If BC switch still reads open, replace BC.
7) Press the actuator paddle, check for continuity across the wires of the red connector.
When the actuator paddle is engaged, BC switch is open. If closed, check that the
actuator paddle is not restricted. Clean if necessary. See "II.D.2. Bin Control Cleaning."
If BC switch still reads closed, replace BC.
