E. Float Switch

1. Explanation of Operation

The float operates  switches within the float switch. The lower switch (black and 
blue wires) is used for low water safety protection, initiating the freeze cycle refill and 
terminating the freeze cycle. The upper switch (black and red wires) is used to terminate 
the freeze cycle refill only. Refill will last until the upper float switch closes or the 1 
minute countdown timer ends, whichever comes first.

2. Cleaning

Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on the float, float switch shaft 
and inside the housing. Scale on the float or shaft can cause the float to stick causing 
erratic operation. The float switch should be cleaned and checked before replacing. 
First, disconnect the black K5 float switch connector from the control board and remove 
the float switch and rubber boot from the icemaker. Remove the rubber boot from the 
float switch. Twist the mechanical lock at the top of the float housing and lower out the 
float and float shaft. Remove the retainer clip from the shaft and slide the float off the 
shaft. Soak the switch assembly in ice machine cleaner. Wipe down the shaft, float, 
housing, and rubber boot with cleaning solution. See "VI. Cleaning and Maintenance 
Instructions."  

3. Float Switch Check Procedure 

Before replacing a float switch that you suspect is bad, make sure the float switch has 
been cleaned. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. The float switch has 
three wires. The black wire is common. The blue wire is for the lower float switch contact 
and the red wire is for the upper float switch contact. 

1) Disconnect the black K5 float switch connector from the control board. 
) Drain the reservoir water. 
3) Turn the control switch to "ICE". 
4) As water fills the reservoir, the float switch contacts should close. Check continuity of 

the lower float switch contacts using the black and blue wires and the upper float switch 
contacts using the black and red wires. With the float positioned all the way up, both 
float switch contacts should be closed. If either float switch contact fails, the assembly 
should be replaced.

5) Turn the control switch to "OFF".
6) Drain the reservoir water.
7) As water drains, the float switch contacts should open. Check continuity of the upper 

float switch contacts using the black and red wires and the lower float switch contacts 
using the black and blue wires. With the float positioned all the way down, both float 
switch contacts should be open. If either float switch contact fails, the assembly should 
be replaced. 

8) Reconnect the black K5 connector to the control board when finished.
