1. The bin control uses devices that sense
light, therefore they must be kept clean
enough so that they can "see". At least twice a
year, remove the bin control sensors from the
base of the ice chute, and wipe the inside
clean, as illustrated.

probe located in the water reservoir. At least
twice a year, the probe should be removed
from the reservoir, and the tip wiped clean of
mineral buildup.
