Adler ice maker displays E02 and stops mid-cycle; water fills but ice does not release from the evaporator plate.

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing internal components.

• Access evaporator area: Remove the front panel and inner cover to expose the evaporator plate and sensor harness.
• Inspect thermistor placement: Confirm the Adler evaporator thermistor is firmly clipped to the evaporator surface and not hanging loose or covered in heavy ice.
• Check wiring and connector: Trace the thermistor wires back to the main control board. Reseat the connector and look for corrosion or broken insulation.
• Test thermistor: Use a multimeter to measure resistance at room temperature and compare to Adler service specs (typically in the 5–20 kΩ range depending on model). Infinite or zero resistance indicates a bad sensor.
• Replace if faulty: If readings are out of range, install a new Adler evaporator thermistor kit, routing the harness away from sharp edges and hot components.
• Reset unit: Reassemble panels, restore power, and clear the E02 by power cycling. Run a full ice-making cycle to confirm proper release.
