Possible Causes

Misadjusted ice thickness probe, Scale buildup on thickness sensor, Failed ice thickness sensor, Loose sensor harness connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Disconnect power and water before internal adjustments.

Steps:

  • Locate thickness sensor: On Arktic units, this is typically a metal or plastic probe near the ice plate or a sensor arm that contacts the ice sheet.
  • Clean sensor: Mineral scale can insulate the sensor. Use a manufacturer-approved descaler or a 1:1 vinegar solution to remove buildup from the probe or arm. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Check adjustment: Some models allow mechanical adjustment of ice thickness via a screw or sliding bracket. Refer to the service label and set to the factory mark.
  • Inspect wiring: Ensure the sensor harness is fully seated at both the sensor and control board ends.
  • Replace sensor: If E07 persists and ice thickness is erratic, replace the ice thickness sensor/probe assembly.
