How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow any ice on the evaporator to melt before adjusting the probe.
- Locate thickness probe: Find the Adler ice thickness sensor positioned near the evaporator plate where it contacts the ice slab.
- Clean probe: Remove mineral deposits or slime from the probe surface using a soft cloth and ice machine cleaner.
- Check adjustment: Refer to Adler specifications to set the correct gap or contact point between the probe and evaporator. Adjust the mounting bracket as needed.
- Inspect wiring: Ensure the probe harness is intact and firmly connected to the control board.
- Replace if faulty: If E17 persists and resistance readings are out of spec, install a new Adler ice thickness sensor.
- Run test cycle: Restore power and observe one full cycle to confirm proper cube thickness and error clearance.
