E20
E20 displayed; ice maker stops, and an internal alarm sounds continuously.
General System Fault / Multiple Sensor Error
Symptom
Excessive frost buildup inside the ice compartment and on the door.
Air Infiltration or Defrost Failure
Symptom
Ice appears cloudy or white instead of clear.
Entrained Air or Mineral Content in Water
Symptom
Ice cubes are too large, stick together, or block the bin chute.
Overfilling or Overfreezing of Ice
Symptom
Ice cubes are too small, thin, or only form at the edges of the plate.
Low Water Level or Poor Water Distribution
Symptom
Ice has a bad taste or odor, even though the water supply tastes fine.
Contamination or Biofilm in Ice Maker Water Path
Symptom
Ice maker does not turn on at all; no lights or display, but the outlet has power.
Internal Fuse or Power Filter Failure
Symptom
Ice maker is leaking water onto the floor from underneath the cabinet.
Drain System Leak or Overflow
Symptom
Ice maker produces no ice, but the interior is cold and frost is present.
Harvest Mechanism or Ice Release Failure
Symptom
Ice maker runs continuously but produces no ice; the interior feels only slightly cool.
Partial Refrigerant Loss or Weak Compressor
Symptom
Ice maker runs, but ice output is very low compared to normal.
Reduced Production Capacity
Symptom
Ice maker starts, then shuts off after a few minutes without making ice.
Overheat or Safety Cut-Out Activation
Symptom
Ice maker very noisy during operation, with rattling or vibrating sounds.
Cabinet Vibration or Loose Components
Symptom
Ice maker will not start a cycle unless the unit is tapped or shaken.
Sticking Relay or Intermittent Electrical Connection
Symptom
Loud grinding or buzzing noise from the water area, especially during ice making.
Circulation Pump Obstruction or Failure
Symptom
The display works, but buttons do not respond or respond intermittently.
Keypad or User Interface Failure
Symptom
The door does not close properly or pops open, causing frost and poor ice quality.
Door Alignment or Gasket Failure
Symptom
The ice bin overflows with ice and does not stop producing.
Bin Full Sensor Not Detecting Ice Level
Symptom
The ice maker cabinet feels hot to the touch on the sides or top.
Poor Heat Rejection or Ventilation
Symptom
The ice maker trips the household circuit breaker when starting.
Electrical Short or Overcurrent
Symptom
The interior light does not turn on when the door is opened, but the ice maker otherwise works.
Door Switch or Light Circuit Fault
Symptom
Water leaking inside the ice compartment, pooling under the ice bin.
Internal Drain Channel Blockage
