Hi
Has anyone came across this problem before and what was the solution.

The Ice machine drops the water tray and activates hot gas valve. The big wheel spins and the tray sits back up, the evaporator starts freezing and lets in water. As soon as the water level sensor is made it drops the water tray and activiates the hot gas valve again.

Because the parts are cheap, I've replaced the PCB, water level sensor, alnico (magnet that spins round) and alnico sensor and i still have the original problem. I would of thought there is nothing else it could be??????

Thanks

Change the paddle motor as well, if it is not going fast enough, it thinks it is hitting ice and will start the defrost cycle. If that fails buy/supply a real machine.
