Maxx Ice ice machine display · also shown as Ice Making and Ice Harvest LEDs blinking What to do when Green and yellow LEDs flashing together shows on the ice machine ### Kind of code Mode, 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 to No repair If you started a cleaning, let the 30 minutes finish. ### Shows up as Ice 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. ### Make Maxx Ice A Maxx Ice call opens with the location: room temperature, airflow around the unit and a drain that falls the way it should. ### Source Maxx Ice modular MIM452, MIM600, MIM1000 manual LED-panel models including MIM452, MIM600, MIM1000, MIM250 and MIM80 to MIM125H.

If you started a cleaning, let the 30 minutes finish. ### Why are the green and yellow lights on my Maxx Ice flashing at the same time? The machine is in cleaning mode, usually because CLEAN was pressed within three minutes of switching on. It runs for about 30 minutes. ### How do I stop the cleaning cycle on my Maxx Ice? Press the power switch or the CLEAN button again. Rinse the tank before making ice if cleaner was already added. ### My Maxx Ice lights stopped flashing and stay on. Is it done? Yes. When cleaning ends the green and yellow lights go steady, and switching the machine off and on starts ice making again. --- **[Read on the site: Maxx Ice green and yellow lights flashing together: the cleaning cycle is running](https://icemachinerepair.center/error-codes/maxx-ice-green-and-yellow-leds-flashing/)** **[Book a visit with IceMachineRepair.center](https://icemachinerepair.center/schedule/)**
