ICE/OFF/CLEAN TOGGLE SWITCH
Function
The switch is used to place the ice machine in ICE, OFF or CLEAN mode of operation.
Specifications
Check Procedure
NOTE: Because of a wide variation in D.C. voltage, it is not recommended that voltage is used to check toggle switch operation.
1.Inspect the toggle switch for correct wiring.
2.Isolate the toggle switch by disconnecting all wires from the switch, or by disconnecting the Molex connector from the control board.
3.Check across the toggle switch terminals using a calibrated ohm meter. Note where the wire numbers are connected to the switch terminals, or refer to the wiring diagram to take proper readings.

4.Replace the toggle switch if ohm readings do not match all three switch settings.
BIN LEVEL PROBE
Function
The bin level probe shuts off the ice machine after the bin fills with ice.
To start ice making, the bin level probe must be open (Bin Level light off). If the probe is closed (Bin Level light on) when the toggle switch is moved to ICE, the control system waits until the bin level probe opens (Bin Level light off) before starting an ice making sequence. If the bin level probe is disconnected from the circuit board, the ice machine will not start. This prevents overfilling the bin with ice.
FAILURE MODES
Bin Level Probe Open or Disconnected
The ice machine will not start and continuously flashes the Bin Level light. Opening the bin level probe for
15 continuous seconds in the Freeze cycle will initiate an Automatic
Bin Level Probe Closed or Shorted
The ice machine will not start and the Bin Level light is energized.
Shorting the probe for 30 continuous seconds in the Freeze cycle will initiate an Automatic
CHECK PROCEDURE
Bin Level Probe Open or Disconnected
The ice machine will not start and continuously flashes the Bin Level light.
