000010510 Kool-Aire Bin Switch

Magnetic bin switch for Kool-Aire brand ice machines, by Manitowoc.  This is an OEM bin switch for the following model numbers:   KD0250A KY0250A KD0420A KD0420W KY0420A KY0420W KD0350A KD0350W KY0350A KY0350W KD0500A KD0500W KY0500A KY0500W KD0600A KD0600W KY0600A KY0600W KD1000A KD1000W KD1000N KY1000A KY1000W KY1000N KD1350A KD1350W KD1350N KY1350A KY1350W KY1350N   The bin switch is also known operates by sensing the magnet on the water curtain.  When the water curtain is in the closed position, the bin light should be lit on the control board.  This tells the machine that the ice machine is not full and should go back to making ice. When the ice storage bin is full, the last batch of ice will slowly fall and hold the bin switch open.  This lets the ice maker know that the storage bin is full and it should stop making ice, not going back into a freeze cycle.  It will remain off until the bin switch is satisfied. The Kool-Aire bin switch can be an intermittent problem.  The only way to test is to OHM it out and look for consistency.  The Manitowoc bin switch looks similar, but they are not interchangable.  Manitowoc bin switch part number 000007888 is used on S series and Indigo series ice machines.
