It continues to fill it to the point it overflows into the ice bin. Things to note - 1) I have tested the inlet water valve. It measures ~300 ohms, so this is not malfunctioning. It also shuts off properly when i turn the machine off or unplug the unit from the wall 2) The machine does enter and do the cleaning cycle and complete properly. I ran the cleaning cycle twice using 2:1 ratio of water with CLR. So i have seen the circulation pump run. Why does the machine not shut off the water and continue to the next cycle where the water is pumped the cold plate? I cannot find any kind of feed back or shut off sensor. I have googled for hours and cant find anything... What else can i do? HELP!? -Todd

I found a timinig diagram that said the water would run for 2minutes, off for 1, run for 2 more and then start cycling the water over the cold plate. I was under the impression it shoudl shut off as soon as the fill bucket was full. This was a wrong assumption - my ice machine was working to begin with...
