Emerson Ice Maker

[Space]

I have a counter top ice maker that's maybe 2 years old. It goes through a series of checks before it starts making ice. Makes sure there is water present, and that the bin is not full. The "ice full" sensor is two eyes that run opposite each other, I'm assuming once the ice fills the bucket it breaks the beam. Anyways, it won't make ice if it thinks its full, and it thinks its full. Last time this happened, I cleaned it with some bleachy water and either a q tip or a toothpick and removed all sorts of nastiness. This time it won't work. My question is, is there a way to bypass that feature and jumper that circuit somehow so it disregards that altogether? I havent taken it apart yet or traced it out, but there is a ladder diagram on the back that shows this IR circuit, would it just entail disconnecting the sensors and jumping the terminals that they were wired to?

It is hard to say... You would need to be sure the sensor was sending the expected signal it should produce when "satisfied." Simply jumping the wires wouldn't guarantee the correct reaction, you need to know what the output of the beam sensor is, in order to know if jumping it would have the desired effect.
