The Small Part That Prevents a Big Mess.
As a certified appliance repair technician with a focus on commercial kitchen equipment, I've seen it all. The number one service call I get for ice machines is always the same: "It's making a huge puddle! It won't stop making ice!" Nine times out of ten, the culprit is a small but critical component—the temperature control. This genuine Scotsman 11-0616-21 Temperature Control Bin Kit is the brain that tells your workhorse machine when it's time to take a break.
Why You Must Use a Genuine OEM Part
When it comes to the sensitive calibration of a commercial appliance, using a generic, knock-off part is a recipe for disaster. The bin thermostat works by sensing a very specific temperature from the ice pile to signal the machine to stop. A cheap alternative might not be calibrated correctly, causing it to shut off too early (leaving you with no ice) or, more likely, not shut off at all. This genuine Scotsman OEM part is guaranteed to be calibrated to the exact factory specifications of your machine. This ensures reliable operation, prevents wasteful water overflow, and protects the other components of your expensive ice maker from the stress of constant, unnecessary operation.

Installation Advisory
- Safety First: Before beginning any repair, disconnect the ice machine from its power and water supply.
- Locate and remove the old temperature control unit, which is typically found inside the ice storage bin.
- Install the new 11-0616-21 unit, ensuring the sensing bulb is correctly positioned.
- Reconnect wiring as per your machine's service manual and restore power and water.
- Professional installation by a qualified technician is highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this temperature control bin kit do?
This component, often called a bin thermostat or bin stat, acts like a sensor. Its probe detects the cold temperature of the ice pile as it reaches the full level in the storage bin and signals the machine to stop producing ice.
How do I know if this part is failing?
The most common symptom of a failing temperature control is that your ice machine will not stop producing ice, causing the bin to overflow. It can also cause the machine to shut off prematurely when the bin is not full.
