D. Bin Control Check
This appliance uses a BC with a lever-actuated proximity switch to control the ice level
in the storage bin. No adjustment is required. BC is connected to CB K4 (red) connector.
When calling for ice, BC proximity switch is closed (green "BC CLOSED" LED on). When
BC actuator paddle is engaged, BC proximity switch is open (yellow "BC OPEN" LED on)
and CB shuts down the unit according to the chart below.

CHOKING HAZARD: Ensure all components, fasteners, and thumbscrews are
securely in place after the icemaker is serviced. Make sure that none have fallen
into the dispenser unit/storage bin.
1. Bin Control Check
This appliance uses a lever-actuated proximity switch to control the ice level in the storage
bin. No adjustment is required.
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 "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 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 "II.D.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.
Shutdown
15 seconds after activation.
At the end of the harvest cycle, or up to 15 seconds into the freeze cycle if activated
at the end of the harvest cycle.
15 seconds after activation if activated at least 15 seconds before the 5-min. short
cycle protection timer terminates. Otherwise, at the end of the next harvest cycle.
