E12
E12 displayed: ice maker cycles but produces very small or hollow cubes, then stops with an error.
Low Refrigerant / Compressor Protection Error (Temperature/Pressure Out of Range)
E13
E13 error: internal drain pump runs continuously, or the unit reports a drain fault.
Drain Pump / Drain Level Sensor Failure
E14
E14 displayed: ice maker stops and may indicate the door or lid is open even when closed.
Door / Lid Switch Failure
E15
E15 error: ice maker reports a sensor fault after a cleaning cycle or power surge.
Multiple Sensor Fault / Sensor Bus Error
E2
E2 displayed; the ice maker runs briefly then stops, and the fan may not operate correctly.
Ambient / Cabinet Air Temperature Sensor Failure
E3
E3 error; the ice maker stops mid-cycle, ice thickness is inconsistent, or the machine aborts harvest.
Ice Thickness Sensor / Probe Failure
E4
E4 displayed; the ice maker stops, the compressor may run briefly then shut off, and there may be possible frost buildup.
Defrost / Evaporator Temperature Abnormality
E5
E5 error; the ice maker stops, water does not fill properly, or it overfills the evaporator tray.
Water Level Sensor / Float Switch Failure
E6
E6 displayed; the ice maker does not harvest ice, and the ice slab remains stuck on the evaporator.
Harvest Motor / Ice Tray Motor Failure
E7
E7 error: ice maker fan does not run, unit overheats, or makes no ice.
Condenser Fan Motor Failure
E8
E8 displayed: ice maker stops, and water does not circulate over the evaporator properly.
Water Circulation Pump Failure
E9
E9 error: ice maker does not fill with water or fills very slowly.
Water Inlet Valve / Fill Valve Failure
Symptom
Display works but some buttons do not respond.
Keypad / Touch Control Failure
Symptom
Evaporator does not frost at all while the compressor is running.
No Cooling – Sealed System Failure
Symptom
Evaporator plate freezes into a solid block of ice and does not release.
Harvest Failure / Defrost Timing Issue
Symptom
Ice appears cloudy or white instead of clear.
Entrained Air / Mineral Content in Ice
Symptom
Ice bin overflows with ice and does not stop production.
Bin Full Detection Failure
Symptom
Ice cubes are too large or fused together in sheets.
Excessive Water Fill / Delayed Harvest
Symptom
Ice cubes are too small or hollow.
Insufficient Water Fill / Premature Harvest
Symptom
Ice has a bad taste or odor.
Contaminated Water Path / Biofilm or Odor Absorption
Symptom
Ice maker is leaking water onto the floor.
External Water Leak
Symptom
Ice maker is very noisy during operation (grinding, rattling, or buzzing).
Mechanical Noise – Fan, Pump, or Compressor Related
Symptom
Ice maker powers on but will not start a cycle (stuck in standby).
Control Logic / User Interface Lock
Symptom
Ice maker produces ice very slowly compared to normal.
Reduced Ice Production – Thermal/Flow Inefficiency
Symptom
Ice maker runs but produces no ice at all.
No Ice Production – General Failure
Symptom
Ice maker stops after a few minutes and then restarts repeatedly.
Short Cycling – Overheat or Sensor Misread
Symptom
Ice maker vibrates excessively or 'walks' on the counter/floor.
Excessive Vibration / Poor Leveling
Symptom
Ice maker will not power on at all (no lights, no sounds).
No Power / Electrical Supply Failure
Symptom
Ice melts quickly, or the bin temperature seems too warm.
Poor Ice Storage Cooling / Insulation Issue
Symptom
Loud knocking or banging sound during harvest.
Harvest Mechanism Impact / Ice Tray Misalignment
Symptom
The ice maker interior shows heavy scale and slime buildup.
Lack of Regular Cleaning / Sanitation
Symptom
The ice maker produces ice but shuts off earlier than expected each day.
Capacity Limitation / Thermal Protection
Symptom
The unit is stuck in cleaning mode and will not return to normal ice making.
Control Mode Stuck / Software State Error
Symptom
Unit trips the household breaker or GFCI when starting.
Electrical Short / Ground Fault
Symptom
Water leaking inside the ice bin or from the evaporator area.
Internal Ice Compartment Leak / Poor Drainage
Symptom
Water pump runs but no water reaches the evaporator.
Water Circulation Blockage
