Water curtain in open position.
Ice contacting bin level thermistor.
Ice machine is in ice ice delay or repeat ice
delay period every 24 hours.

machine.
Water trough level is too high.
Power button was turned off/on during freeze
cycle and ice remained on evaporator.
Water curtain was opened then closed in the
harvest cycle before the ice released.
Long harvest cycles with repeated service
limit indication.
Ice machine is dirty.
