COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Bin Level Control
This electronic control uses sound waves to
measure the distance between the bottom of the
ice machine and the top of the ice in the bin. It is
designed to control the machine’s ice production to
maintain that distance.
The control is adjustable so that the ice machine
will maintain a certain height of ice. When set at
FULL it will not allow the machine to fill the bin any
closer to the ice machine than about 8", and it will
not work if the distance to the bottom of the bin is
greater than 8 feet.
Because it uses sound waves, a slight “ticking”
sound can be heard coming from the bottom of the
machine.
There are three parts to the control, the
transducer, the circuit board, and the ice level
control switch.
