What Blinking exclamation mark
actually means.
Intelligent Series machines check themselves at start-up and while running: the condenser and evaporator probes, the bin full probe or curtain switch, condenser temperature, water supply, and freeze and harvest times. When any of them is out of line, an exclamation mark blinks in the corner of the LCD. Pressing ADJUST replaces the normal screen with the name of the check that failed.

What to do when Blinking exclamation mark shows on the ice machineKind of codeSensors and bin control
A sensor is telling the board something that is not true: a bin control that reads full on an empty bin, or empty while ice spills over the top, a curtain switch stuck open, a temperature sensor out of range, or an eye on a dispenser that no longer sees the cup. Scale and slime on a probe or an ultrasonic sensor cause much of it. Clearing ice piled against the bin control is a safe first step; testing and replacing a sensor is a technician's.

The thermostat bulb, paddle, curtain switch or electronic eye that senses a full bin, adjusted or replaced so the machine stops and restarts on time.

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 Blinking exclamation mark on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Press ADJUST and write down exactly what the screen shows.
If it names water, check the supply tap and the filter, and that the water line is connected.
If it names the condenser, clean the condenser and clear the space around the air intake.
For a probe, a curtain switch or a long cycle, book a visit and give the technician the wording you wrote down.

What not to do
The exclamation mark is not a code by itself; the cause lives behind the ADJUST button. It is also not the Bin Full message, which is a normal pause and is spelled out on the screen.
