Bin Switch
Function
Bin switch operation is controlled by the movement of the
ice damper. The bin switch has two main functions:
1. Terminating the harvest cycle and returning the ice
machine to the freeze cycle.
This occurs when the bin switch is opened and closed
again within 7 seconds of opening during the harvest
cycle.
2. Automatic ice machine shut-off.
If the storage bin is full at the end of a harvest cycle,
the sheet of cubes fails to clear the ice damper and
holds it down. After the ice damper is held down for 7
seconds, the ice machine shuts off.
The ice machine remains off until enough ice is
removed from the storage bin to allow the sheet
of cubes to drop clear of the ice damper. As the ice
damper swings back to the operating position, the bin
switch closes and the ice machine restarts.
Importar
The ice damper must be up (bin switch closed) to start
ice making.
Check Procedure
1. Set the toggle switch to OFF.
2. Watch the bin switch light on the control board.
3. Move the ice damper upward, toward the evaporator.
The bin switch must close. The bin switch light “on”
indicates the bin switch has closed properly.
4. Move the ice damper away from the evaporator.
The bin switch must open. The bin switch light “off”
indicates the bin switch has opened properly.
