Bin control system may

Check bin controls. Check bin full light, if off,
place something between the electric eyes.
The bin full light should begin to blink (after 20
seconds of continuous blockage it will glow
steadily). If not, check operation of electric
eyes by unplugging #4 and jumping out the
two pins on the controller (touch the tool to the
cabinet to discharge static electricity before
contacting the controller). If the bin full light
blinks, replace the bin controls. If it does not
blink, replace the controller. Note: Leaving #4
unplugged and jumped for 20 seconds will
shut the machine down on a bin full (at the
end of the harvest cycle). It will restart after 4
minutes or may be reset by pushing the
Freeze button.
