E. Float Switch

Depending on local water conditions, scale may build up on the float switch. Scale on the switch can cause the floats to stick. In this case, the float switch should be cleaned and checked.

First, remove the switch from the water tank. Soak the switch assembly in ice machine cleaner. While not necessary, the floats can be removed from the shaft during cleaning. If you remove them, note that the blue float is on top. The floats must be installed with the magnets inside them towards the top of the switch. Installing the floats upside down will affect the timing of the float switch operation. Once clean, rinse and wipe the cleaner off. Next, check the switch with an ohm meter. This float switch has three wires (the black wire is common) and two separate switches. Check the upper switch by ohming out the black and red wires. When the float is up, the switch should be closed. Check the lower switch by ohming out the black and blue wires in the same manner. If either switch fails, the assembly should be replaced.
