Why is my bin indicator light staying on with no ice in the bin. I have cleaned what I believe to be the sensors but nothing happens. I have ran through all the sensors by holding down the off tab for several seconds. Any advice. It was making ice perfectly a week ago and has since been unplugged

    It was unplugged for a week. I do not think this is the solution. Is the bin full indicators the 2 moveable arms where the ice drops into the bin?

    My "Bin Full" idicator light is staying on with no ice in the machine at all. What could be the problem. It was working a week ago and when I moved it , it has not worked since. I have had it unplugged for days. IT is a Scotsman CM3. I have cleaned what I caonsider to be the idicater bulbs(mechanisms on both sides of where the ice comes out to no avail.I have held the off button down for several seconds letting the processoer run through all the modes with all the lights coming on and going off. When I do happen to get the "bin full" light to go off and hit the "freeze" tab the compressor comes on for 5-6 seconds and goes right back to "bin Full". Any suggestions with this problem.

    It is a Scotsman CM# the light is solid. The water supply is full but it will not make ice. When I hit the freeze button it cycles for only seconds and shuts off.

    It is a CM3 Universal service controller.Model # is CME256AS-1H

If the fridge was unplugged in the middle of a cycle - the bin my be out of sync. A timer adjustment would be appropriate.
Also - other parts DO fail - but without a model # it is almost impossible to give a remote diagnosis.


Please accept this answer to remove it from the work queue - and re-post with the following information:

if the light is solid or blinking
Steps you have taken to troubleshoot already.

Thanks :)

have you checked to see if there is a ice full bin sensor that may be dirty, iced over, or something similar - there has to be a sensor that will tell the system to shut off when the bin is full and it's got to be blocked by something - Good Luck - Eric

Cme256 scotsman ice machine

Clean the bin eyes found in the back of the ice machine where the shoot narrows. Look on the left and right sides of the unit, you will see plastic vanes that are pushed into rubber grommets. Just pull the eyes out and clean with ice machine cleaner.
