What Bin Full
actually means.
Maxx Ice machines stop making ice when the bin fills. Modular heads sense it through the water curtain, which is held open by ice that cannot drop; self-contained units use a bin full probe. Anything that holds the curtain open or blocks the probe gives the same message with a half-empty bin.

What to do when Bin Full shows on the ice machineKind of codeMode, not a failure
Nothing is broken; the control is reporting a state someone chose or a routine it runs: a clean or sanitize reminder counting the hours since the last cycle, a delay of a few minutes after power returns before the pump and compressor start, a bin-full light while the bin control is satisfied, or a standby or off mode someone chose at the keypad. No part is needed; finishing the cycle the light asks for, waiting out the delay or the key sequence from the manual ends it.
Usually leads toNo repair
Look in the bin; if it is full, this is normal and the machine will restart as ice is used.
Shows up asIce Machine Error Code or Flashing Light: What It Is Telling You
An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Maxx Ice's own guidance for Bin Full on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Look in the bin; if it is full, this is normal and the machine will restart as ice is used.
If the bin is not full, check that the water curtain hangs freely and no cube is stuck under it.
On self-contained units, clear any ice resting against the bin full probe.
If Bin Full stays with an empty bin and a free curtain, book a visit to check the curtain switch or probe.
Cleared?
The light or code is gone, and the machine fills, freezes and drops a full batch of cubes into the bin with no new part. If it returns within a week, or the clean light comes back straight after a cleaning cycle, mention that in the booking.
What not to do
Bin Full is not an error and does not mean the machine has failed. It is different from Bin Full Release, which is the three-minute wait after the bin has been emptied.

Still showing Bin Full?
A booking with a code goes further when it carries the light or code copied as it appeared, the model and serial off the data plate, and a word on whether cubes still fall into the bin. With those three in hand, our office can match the probable part to your machine the same afternoon.
