Additional Maintenance: Ice Sensors and Water Level Sensor
The ice sensors use a system of infrared emitting
and receiving components to sense ice. They are
located at the bottom of the ice outlet port. They
must be free of mineral build up to function
properly. To check:
1. Remove front panel.
2. Push and release the off button.

5. Remove the cascading shield.
6. Pull the right sensor out of its socket.
7. Pull the left sensor out of its socket.
8. Examine the bottom of the brackets, there are
two sensors in each bracket, check that they are
clear of mineral build up. They may be wiped clean
with ice machine cleaner to assist in removal of
the build up. Be sure to drain the reservoir or go
thru a Clean cycle to remove residual cleaner.
Note: Do NOT use abrasive materials or cleaner
on the bin sensor lenses. A soft toothbrush is an
effective tool for cleaning these sensors.
