Ice Sensors
The ice sensors, located in holders in the base of
the ice making section, must be clean and free of
mineral scale to provide the controller with
accurate information.
To clean them they must be removed from their
installed positions.
1. Remove front panel.
2. Push and release the Harvest button to release
ice. When ice quits falling, push and hold the Off
button until the machine stops.
3. Remove evaporator cover.
4. Remove lower splash panel.
5. Locate sensors. There is one at the back and
one at the front of the ice outlet port.
6. Pull the back sensor forward and out of its
mounting position.
7. Unplug the sensor from its harness.
8. Remove the bracket holding the front sensor,
then pull the front sensor out of the bracket.
9. Each sensor contains a removable tray. One
tray contains the infrared emitters, the other the
infrared receiver. Each lens must be clean and free
of scale for proper operation. The trays may be
removed from their holders for better access.
10. Push the tray in with a finger or thumb until the
tray flips out of its socket.
11. Wipe the lens
clean with a soft cloth
dipped in an ice
machine cleaner solution (3
parts water to 1 part ice
machine cleaner). Do NOT
use any abrasives on the
lenses.
12. Return the tray to its
normal position. Be sure it
snaps into place. The gray
wire must be secured under
the black plastic clip.
13. Return each ice sensor
to its normal position. Be
sure no wires are
pinched in the
mounting sockets.
14. Return the lower
splash panel to its
normal position.
15. Return the
evaporator cover to its
normal position.
16. Push and release the Freeze button.
17. Return the front panel to its normal position.
Ice Sensor Diagnostics
Diagnostics assume that the control system is
working but may not be able to sense cubes. Its
purpose is to determine which component may be
at fault - the controller or the ice sensors.
Unplug thermostat from terminal 7 of the controller
and check bin full light, if off place an object
between the ice sensors, after 5 seconds the Bin
Full light will be glowing steadily, if not check
operation of sensors by unplugging #4. Bin Full
light will go on after 5 seconds, If not, replace
controller. If the light does go on, replace ice
sensor set.
