My standalone icemaker bin fills up and the icemaker keeps making ice to overflow the bin. I am wondering if the thermostat in the inside of the storage bin could be faulty or if there is could be something else I'm not aware of? Any help would be appreciated.

Icemaker, You're probably correct, bad or loose bin thermistor, or control. We could be more informative, with a proper model number off the unit, But here's some basic thermistor information. 1. Unplug ice maker or disconnect power.
2. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate
scale.
3. For the most accurate measurement,
immerse the thermistor in ice water for 5
minutes, then use the 32°F/0°C reading
in the chart.
4. Touch the ohmmeter test leads to the
two bin thermistor connectors. The meter
should indicate as shown in the following
chart.
F. C. Ohms Res.
10 (–12) 59,422 - 72,627
32 (0) 30,266 - 36,992
50 (10) 18,219 - 22,267
70 (21) 10,280 - 12,564
90 (32) 6,387 - 7,807
Too much ice in bin = Defective bin thermistor = Replace thermistor If you have the correct resistance readings, and the connections are good and tight, you'll have to suspect a bad control. Good Luck, :) :) :)
