E1
Ice maker beeps and displays E1; the unit will not start the ice-making cycle.
Water Supply Sensor / Inlet Fault
E10
E10 displayed, unit beeps continuously and stops, water drains unexpectedly.
Drain Valve / Leak Detection Fault
E2
Display shows E2 and the machine stops mid-cycle; ice production halts.
Ice Full Sensor / Infrared Beam Fault
E3
E3 error displayed; the unit runs briefly then stops, with no ice formed.
Temperature Sensor / Thermistor Fault
E4
E4 displayed; the machine beeps and stops, and the ice tray does not move correctly.
Ice Tray / Motor Position Fault
E5
E5 error displayed; the compressor does not start or stops quickly, resulting in no cooling.
Compressor / Overload Protection Fault
E6
E6 displayed; fan noise stops or is intermittent, and the unit overheats and stops making ice.
Condenser Fan Motor Fault
E7
E7 error displayed; ice cubes are extremely small, or the machine stops with beeping.
Low Water Flow / Pump Fault
E8
E8 displayed; ice cubes stick to the evaporator and do not drop into the basket.
Defrost / Harvest Fault
E9
E9 error, display frozen or buttons unresponsive, unit may not start.
Control Panel / Keypad Communication Fault
Symptom
Condensation forming heavily on exterior surfaces and around the lid.
Excessive Condensation
Symptom
Condenser fan does not run, but compressor is hot and running.
Fan Motor Failure Without Error
Symptom
Display flickers or dims when the compressor starts.
Voltage Drop / Power Supply Strain
Symptom
Display works but buttons do not respond or respond intermittently
Keypad / Touch Button Failure
Symptom
Fan runs but compressor repeatedly starts and stops within a few seconds
Compressor Start / Overload Cycling
Symptom
Ice cubes are fused together in large clumps in the basket.
Overproduction / Poor Ice Storage Ventilation
Symptom
Ice cubes are very small or hollow; they melt quickly in the basket.
Insufficient Water Fill / Short Freeze Time
Symptom
Ice cubes stick to the evaporator and do not drop, requiring manual removal (no code shown).
Harvest / Release Problem Without Error
Symptom
Ice has a bad taste or odour (plastic, chemical, or stale)
Contaminated Water Path
Symptom
Ice maker does not power on at all; no lights or display.
No Power / Input Supply Fault
Symptom
Ice maker frequently stops mid-cycle without any lights or codes, then resumes later.
Thermal Overload / Intermittent Power
Symptom
Ice maker interior light (if fitted) does not turn on when the lid is opened.
Interior Lamp / Lid Switch Fault
Symptom
Ice maker is very noisy during operation, producing rattling or vibrating sounds.
Mechanical Vibration / Loose Component
Symptom
Ice maker produces ice very slowly; long time between batches.
Reduced Cooling Efficiency
Symptom
Ice maker runs but ice melts quickly in the basket, storage area not cold
Insufficient Ice Storage Insulation / Continuous Melt
Symptom
Ice maker runs but produces no ice; evaporator plate does not get cold.
Refrigerant System Failure
Symptom
Ice maker stops and 'Add Water' light is on even though reservoir is full (no code shown)
False Low Water Detection
Symptom
Ice maker stops and 'Ice Full' light is on even when basket is empty (no code shown)
False Ice Full Detection
Symptom
Loud grinding or scraping noise when ice is released or the tray moves.
Ice Tray Drive Mechanism Wear
Symptom
Unit emits a burning smell or visible smoke during operation.
Electrical Overheating / Component Failure
Symptom
Unit frequently trips the household circuit breaker or blows fuses
Electrical Overload / Short Circuit
Symptom
Unit makes a hissing or gurgling sound from inside the cabinet.
Normal Refrigerant Flow Noise (or Possible Leak)
Symptom
Unit powers on but does not make any ice; compressor and fan do not run.
Control Logic / Start Sequence Fault
Symptom
Visible white flakes or particles in the ice cubes
Limescale / Mineral Buildup
Symptom
Water leaking from the bottom or rear of the ice maker onto the counter
External Water Leak
Symptom
Water pooling inside the ice storage area under the basket
Poor Meltwater Drainage
Symptom
Water pump is very loud or makes a buzzing noise; water flow seems weak.
Water Pump Cavitation / Wear
