How long is a freeze cycle on your unit? How big are the cubes that it's dropping? The three beep error indicates that the unit exceeded maximum freeze time.
No one really answered so here is the rest of my answer. The unit SHOULD make ice in around 40-45 minutes easily. If it goes 60 minutes with no indication that there is ice made it will go into a harvest mode and restart in freeze. It does this 3 times and if every one of those three times it has no ice indication it will lock out and start the three beep error code. Resetting the machine involves accessing the control board and with the power on and the unit beeping you have to press a reset button on the board. I recommend that a novice DOES NOT reach in there with their bare hand and maybe get a pencil or plastic pen to push the button. Now, what indication does the unit need that ice is present and what are the possible causes. FIRST there is a float on the front of the machine located next to or near the water pump. This float tells the unit the trough is full of water and when the float tells the unit that it is out of water THAT is the indication that there is ice on the plates. THE ONLY cause of the unit not getting an indication of ice being present is the float not dropping. The float may not drop for TWO reasons. First (and most common) the water inlet valve may be stuck and letting water constantly fill as it is making ice. Second the float itself may be sticking. Those are the two most common reasons. HOPE THIS HELPS.
