I purchased a koldfront portable icemaker KIM202W from living direct (online) in Austin. The ice full indicator light stays on and will not allow for refill of water. I have read the manual, turned off the unit for 24hrs..several times..cleaned and refilled with water, still have the problem. It worked perfectly for 30 days then... Can you help resolve?

Charles, these models have a habit of the inlet tube freezing over. Make sure the black tube feeding the trough is clear. You may want to disconnect it from the back and see if you can blow through it. I use hot water in a baster to clear them all the time. Another thing is to check the optics. When opening the freezer door the red optic light on the right should flash 2x with a pause repeatedly. When you close the left hand emitter flapper the light should stay on. If it does this your optics are good. Because of these optics the new ice-maker has to be jumped started into a cycle. Once started you can monitor the fill. Catriver..post back.

SOURCE: BROTHER HL-2040 LASER PRINTER- TONER LED INDICATOR STAYS ON AFTER I REFILLED THE TONER

Dont recomend refills causes too many problems, like you are experencing, put in a real brother toner should fix problem.

great link to explain of lights on panel

SOURCE: Refill light is on, but the water tank is full

In the manual it says that you should clean the heating element. Unplug the machine, lift off the water tank, pull the lever under the tank and lift off the power unit side. If there is too much build up on the element from mineral deposits, the refill light may remain on.
Unfortunately, I have cleaned mine, soaked it in vinegar, made it look nice and new...and it still doesn't work. I am really annoyed as I have not had this humidifier long and have taken really good care of it. I do not want to throw it out. I am going to call customer support and find out if there are any other solutions. (I got a new one for Christmas and do not want to open it until I am sure that it is not fixable!)

SOURCE: Clean/refill light

My Slant Fin humidifier has a floating, ring-shaped magnetic level that isn't replaceable. You can't even tell it's magnetic until you cut off the piece that prevents the white plastic float from rising past a certain point. It turns out that there is a ring-shaped magnet in the float.

I found that the Refill light would go off when I held a strong magnet near the float device.

So, I have suspended the magnet with string from the top of the humidifier outside the humidifier.

Caution: This fix disables the safety feature inherent in the low level shut off. I wonder why the manufacturer uses material that corrodes?

you likely need a new icemaker (part # 2198597) i would visit the following website to help determine this fact.  http://fixitnow.com/sbrvrs/icemakers.htm
