C. Bin Control Check
BC shuts down the icemaker within 10 sec. when ice contacts the thermostatic bulb,
regardless of the cycle at activation.
NOTICE
When the ambient temperature is below 45°F (7°C), BC opens and shuts down
the appliance even if the ice storage bin is empty. When BC is set in the prohibited
range, the appliance operates continuously even if the ice storage bin is lled with
ice. Setting in the prohibited range may result in appliance and property damage.
BC is factory set, and generally no adjustment is required. However, adjustment may be
needed in some conditions, particularly at higher altitude locations.
To check BC, follow the steps below.
1) Turn off the power supply.
2) Move the control switch to the "OFF" position.
3) Clear any ice away from BC bulb.
4) Remove the upper rear panel and disconnect BC wires from BC switch.
5) Hold your hand around the bulb to warm it up.
6) Check for continuity across BC switch. If closed, continue to step 8. If open, adjust or
replace BC.
7) With the multimeter test leads still in place, hold ice on BC bulb to lower the
temperature. Within 10 sec., BC switch should open. If it remains closed, adjust or
replace BC.
