My 2004 ice maker has had the pump replaced (again) and has been cleaned several times with the Nickel solution and by hand. It runs a cycle, produces a sheet of ice on cutter, cutter seems to be working, but ice is not normal size, much smaller. After a cycle, it shifts to blinking clean light. Turn it off and back on, it will repeat. Seems a little warmer than normal, but not too hot. Help!?
Whenever the unit has reached a failure mode, the LED will flash, and the unit will shut down. If the failure was caused during a harvest cycle which lasted more than 16 minutes, the LED will remain flashing on & off in halfsecond increments. If the failure is caused by a faulty bin thermistor, (not detected), the LED will remain flashing on & off in 1-second increments. These are the only two failures that cause the unit to reach a shutdown failure mode. x During the Clean cycle, the control board performs the diagnostics first. If the bin thermistor is not detected, the LED will flash two times. This is followed by a 3-second delay. If the evaporator thermistor is not detected, the LED will flash on five times. This will be followed by a 3-second delay. The LED will then come back on, and remain on for the remainder of the Clean cycle, and until the unit is turned back on.

I'm still perplexed with this problem. I have unplugged the machine before, to no improvement, but I just unpluggedit and plan to leave it unplugged for a few hours instead of a few minutes. I keep reading that there is some way to decipher hte blinking red light on the clean mode, but I cannot find out that code.
Update: Unplugged the machine for the entire day. Plugged it back in this evening and turned it on. Immediately started to work, pumping the water and made a sheet of ice. As the ice started to drop into the bin, I noticed the clean light was blinking aagain and it felt warm. Put a thermometer in the bin and it reads 52 degrees F and the front control panel feels warm to the touch. Any ideas from this?
