Adler ice maker shows E06; compressor and fan do not start, but control panel lights up.

Safety first: Unplug the unit. Allow the compressor area to cool before touching components.

• Access compressor compartment: Remove the rear service panel to expose the Adler compressor, start relay, and overload protector.
• Inspect wiring: Check for burnt connectors or loose spade terminals on the compressor and relay.
• Test start relay: Remove the Adler start relay from the compressor terminals and shake it gently; if it rattles or shows burn marks, it is likely defective. Confirm with an ohmmeter per Adler specs.
• Check overload: Test the overload protector for continuity. An open overload that does not reset after cooling must be replaced.
• Replace start components: Install a new Adler compressor start relay and overload kit if either tests bad.
• Evaluate compressor: If new start components do not resolve E06 and the compressor hums then clicks off, the compressor may be locked and require professional replacement.
