"Cleaning light" blinking and stops making ice. If you turn off the unit and restart, it will make one or two cycles of ice, then the "cleaning" light will blink.

I replaced the control board and the machine made about ten pounds of ice, but then the "cleaning" started blinking again.

It could be flashing a failure code like a bad thermistor. If it flashes 2 times its the bin thermistor if it flashes 5 times then pauses its the evap thermistor

The "cleaning" light is simply flashing steady at about once per second, continually with no pause.

I have one doing the exact same problem. Cleaning light blinks steady and it's hot inside the bin. Will make a few cycles of ice after reset but then does the same thing again.
