What to do when Green and yellow LEDs flashing together shows on the ice machine

Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Maxx Ice's own guidance for Green and yellow LEDs flashing together on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

If you started a cleaning, let the 30 minutes finish.

02

If you did not mean to, press the power switch or the CLEAN button to stop it.

03

After cleaning, switch the machine off and on to go back to making ice.

04

If the lights keep flashing together without anyone pressing CLEAN, book a visit to check the control panel.

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

The two lights flashing together do not report a problem. A single green or yellow light flashing on its own has a different, model-specific meaning.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

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.

Questions
about Green and yellow LEDs flashing together.

Can I clear Green and yellow LEDs flashing together myself?
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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing Green and yellow LEDs flashing together?

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.
