The ice maker doesn't harvest ice automatically

My LG ice maker Slim Spaceplus AEQ73130004 made ice but doesn't dump ice unless I push the reset button. I replaced the ice maker unit but the problem remained. I think the "full bin" sensor is the problem. Where is it sensor located and how to test and replace it.

Update (09/04/25)

My LG model LFXS30796S/00 with ice maker AEQ73130004.

Problem: It made ice but did not harvest. When I push reset button, it cycled and harvested ice but then it wouldn't harvest ice automatically. I have replaced with new ice maker AEQ73130004, problem remained.

What could be wrong? Main board?

Although the ice maker part number helps us know about that, we really need to know the model number of the fridge itself to be able to track down the full bin sensor for you.

Hi @gmansc

Here's the service manual for the model series.

Go to p.13 to view the location of the ice detecting sensor
