Unit powers on but quickly shows E4 and stops cooling; compressor or fan may not run.

Safety: Unplug the ice maker. The compressor area can be hot; allow it to cool before touching.

• Check ventilation: Ensure there is at least 10–15 cm clearance around the sides and back of the Baridi ice maker. Overheating can trigger protection and E4.
• Inspect wiring at compressor: Remove the rear panel to access the compressor. Verify that the wiring harness and start relay are firmly attached to the compressor terminals.
• Listen for compressor attempts: Plug the unit in and listen (without touching internal parts). If you hear a click and then a hum followed by another click, the start relay or compressor may be failing.
• Test start relay and overload (advanced): With power disconnected, remove the start relay/overload combo from the compressor. Check for continuity across the overload and appropriate resistance across relay terminals. Replace the start relay/overload assembly if open or burnt.
• Professional service for sealed system: If the compressor is locked (draws high current and trips repeatedly) or does not run even with a new relay, the compressor itself is likely faulty. This requires a refrigeration technician and may not be economical to repair.
