Hi,
My ice machine has stopped producing ice. I believe that I have isolated the problem down to the 'ice full sensor'. There are a set of lasers that shoot across the top of the tray to determine when it is full. Once enough ice has been produced to break the laser it sends a signal to the control panel to stop making ice.
I don't know enough about general electronics to understand how they work. Could I just replace the lasers (are they fairly generic?) or can I bypass them somehow. I would prefer to replace them, but don't know what type of signal they send to the control panel.
I've attached some pictures. Thank you for any help you can provide.
