I would think that one of the paddles is damaged where they lock in or where the outside paddle stops against the paddle bar is damaged.

Have a look at the paddle motor shaft, check that the pin, some times a split pin,you might have damage to the plastic part of the paddle wheels, it might turn in water but when it hits the ice instead of swinging the motor to activate the switch it can spin on the shaft.

this machine uses a sensor [transmitter] fixed close to the paddle wheel,and a magnet on the paddle assy
