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 and top panels, then move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Remove the control box cover.
4) Disconnect the BC connector from CB K4 (red) connector.
5) If BC is accessible from the dispenser unit/storage bin, continue to step 6. If BC is not
accessible from the dispenser unit/storage bin, remove BC insulation. Remove BC
cover thumbscrews, then lift BC assembly out of the icemaker. See Fig. 1.
6) Check for continuity across the wires of the BC connector. When the actuator paddle
is not engaged, BC switch is closed. If open, check that BC wire harness is properly
connected to BC cable and that the actuator paddle is not sticking. Clean if necessary.
See "IV.C.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 BC 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 "IV.C.2. Bin Control Cleaning."
If BC switch still reads closed, replace BC.
8) Reconnect the BC connector to CB K4 (red) connector, then move the control switch to
the "ICE" position.
9) Turn on the power supply.
10) Check that CB green "BC CLOSED" LED turns on.
11) Allow the unit to cycle on. Press and hold the actuator paddle. CB yellow "BC OPEN"
LED turns on and the unit shuts down according to the chart above. If not, replace CB.
12) Turn off the power supply.
