How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker before accessing control electronics.
- Power reset: Disconnect the unit from mains for at least 15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Plug back in and check if E12 clears.
- Inspect control connections: Remove the top or front panel to access the display board and main control PCB. Check any ribbon cables or harnesses between them for secure seating and visible damage.
- Check for moisture: Look for signs of condensation or water ingress on the control boards. If present, dry the area thoroughly and identify the source of the leak before reassembly.
- Examine boards for damage: Inspect for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or corrosion. If found, the affected board should be replaced.
- Board replacement: If all connections are good and E12 persists, replace the main control PCB (and display PCB if sold as a kit) following Baridi’s service instructions.
