E9 error, unit may run water but not freeze, or shuts down with high temperature in ice compartment.

Safety First: Disconnect power before cleaning or servicing internal components. Sealed system work must be done by a certified technician.

• Clean condenser coil: Pull the unit out and remove the lower rear panel. Use a coil brush and vacuum to thoroughly clean dust and lint from the condenser coil.
• Check condenser fan: With the panel off, restore power briefly and verify the condenser fan motor runs whenever the compressor runs. If the fan does not start or is noisy, disconnect power and replace the fan motor.
• Verify ventilation: Ensure the ice maker has proper clearance around the grille and is not installed in a confined, overheated space.
• Monitor operation: After cleaning and fan verification, allow the unit to run for several hours. If E9 returns and ice production is still poor, a sealed system issue (low charge or restriction) is likely.
• Call a professional: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system yourself. Contact an EPA-certified refrigeration technician for leak detection, evacuation, and recharge if needed.
