SENSOR MAINTENANCE

1. The bin control uses devices that sense light,

therefore they must be kept clean enough so that

they can “see”. At least twice a year, remove the

bin control sensors from the base of the ice chute,

and wipe the inside clean, as illustrated.

2. The ice machine senses water level by a probe

located in the water reservoir. At least twice a year,

the probe should be removed from the reservoir,

and the tip wiped clean of mineral build-up.
