Expert Review
Spotted your ice machine playing up? If it’s stopped making ice or the 'add water' light is on when it's clearly full, this water level switch is very likely the culprit. It’s a common point of failure, especially in hard water areas. Thankfully, it's a straightforward swap that can get you back to serving chilled drinks in no time, often without needing an engineer.
Installation & Maintenance
- Disconnect power and water before starting installation.
- Use appropriate tools to avoid damaging connections.
- Ensure all seals are correctly seated upon fitting.
- Periodically check for limescale build-up around the sensor.
Frequently Asked Questions
My DM869 ice machine has stopped making ice, could this be the problem?
If the 'add water' indicator is on despite the reservoir being full, a faulty water level switch is a very common cause of this issue.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For those with basic technical confidence, it is a relatively simple replacement. Always ensure the machine is safely disconnected from power and water first.
What is the function of the water level switch?
It acts as a sensor, telling the machine's control board when there is enough water to begin an ice-making cycle and when to stop the water inlet valve.
Did You Know?
- A failing water level switch can sometimes cause inconsistent ice cube size or shape.
- Limescale build-up is a leading cause of failure for water level switches, especially in hard water areas.
- Replacing this part can be a much more cost-effective first step than booking an expensive engineer call-out.
