Bin Control Operation 

The bin control is used to shut the machine off when the bin fills with ice. The bin control must be 
checked upon installation or initial startup and when performing maintenance. 

Adjustments are 

notcovered under warranty.

There is one bin switch for each evaporator. The actuator arm of the bin switch comes in contact 
with the splash curtain. When the bin is full of ice, the splash curtain is held open when ice drops 
off of the evaporator. This releases the pressure of the bin switch actuator arm allowing the switch 
to open. 

Undercounter and machines without curtains: 

An ice slide at the bottom of the evaporator is 

used on all undercounter and some modular units. The slideway swivels up and down and has a 
magnetic reed switch which detects its position. When ice is sitting on the control, the slideway 
faces down indicating that ice is present (and disconnecting the circuit from the reed switch). When 
the ice is removed, the slideway swivels up and the connection is completed allowing the machine 
to begin producing ice again. 
 

Bin Control Adjustment 
 
All Models (except those without curtains): 

Check the bin switch for proper adjustment by 

swinging the bottom of the curtain away from the evaporator. Slowly bring the curtain towards the 
evaporator. The switch should close when the bottom edge of the curtain is even with the outer edge 
of the water trough. Adjust the switch by loosening the screws the hold the switch in place. Move 
the switch to the proper position and retighten the screws. Recheck the adjustment. 

Adjustments 

are not

 n

covered under warranty.

Undercounter Models or Those Without Curtains 

There are no adjustments needed for the bin (magnetic reed) switch
