Sump or Reservoir Overfill Protection Fault
F6
F6 is displayed. The unit may not respond to button presses or may behave erratically.
Keypad / Touch Control Fault
F7
F7 error; the unit may not circulate water over the evaporator plate, resulting in minimal or absent ice production.
Circulation Pump Failure
F8
F8 displayed; the unit may shut down with a loud fan noise or no airflow across the condenser.
Condenser Fan Motor Fault
F9
F9 error; the unit may not defrost properly, leading to ice buildup on the evaporator plate or in the chute.
Defrost / Harvest Heater Fault (if equipped)
H1
H1 or HI code displayed; the unit indicates high temperature, the ice bin is warm, and ice melts quickly.
High Bin Temperature / Poor Cooling
L1
L1 or LO code displayed; the unit indicates a low ice level even when the bin is partially full, and it continues to run excessively.
Bin Level Sensor Misread (Low Level)
L2
L2 or FULL code flashing incorrectly; the unit thinks the bin is full and stops making ice even when the bin is empty.
Bin Level Sensor Misread (High Level)
Symptom
Ice appears cloudy or white instead of clear.
Cloudy Ice
Symptom
Ice bin overflows or ice spills out when opening the door.
Overfilling Ice Bin
Symptom
Ice cubes are too large or clumped together, may jam the bin or dispenser.
Oversized Ice / Overfreezing
Symptom
Ice cubes are too small, thin, or melt quickly in drinks.
Thin Ice / Undersized Cubes
Symptom
Ice has a bad taste or odor, even when water supply tastes normal.
Contaminated Ice / Odor
Symptom
Ice maker display is blank or dim, but unit still runs and makes ice.
Display / User Interface Failure
Symptom
Ice maker door or bin lid does not close properly or pops open.
Door / Bin Lid Alignment Issue
Symptom
Ice maker is leaking water onto the floor or inside the cabinet.
Water Leak
Symptom
Ice maker is very noisy during operation, with grinding, rattling, or loud humming sounds.
Excessive Noise / Vibration
Symptom
Ice maker runs continuously and never seems to shut off, even when bin is full.
Continuous Operation / No Shutoff
Symptom
Ice maker starts a cycle but stops partway through, leaving water on the evaporator or in the reservoir.
Mid-Cycle Shutdown
Symptom
Ice maker trips the circuit breaker or GFCI outlet when it starts.
Electrical Short / Ground Fault
Symptom
Ice maker vibrates excessively or rattles against cabinetry.
Cabinet Vibration / Installation Issue
Symptom
Ice maker will not start after being turned off or after a power outage.
Won't Restart / Control Lockup
Symptom
The ice maker makes ice, but production is very slow, and the bin never fills completely.
Low Ice Production
Symptom
The ice maker runs but makes no ice at all; the bin remains empty after 24 hours.
No Ice Production
Symptom
The ice maker will not turn on at all; there are no lights or display, and it appears completely dead.
No Power / Line Voltage Supply Failure
Symptom
Water remains in the bin or cabinet after harvest, causing ice to be wet or slushy.
Poor Drainage / Standing Water
