Ice maker stops shortly after starting, E2 displayed, compressor and fan may not run.

Safety: Disconnect mains power before accessing internal components.

Diagnosis steps:

• Locate the evaporator sensor: On Bauknecht ice makers, the evaporator NTC is usually clipped to the evaporator plate or embedded near the ice-making tray behind the inner liner.
• Check wiring: Inspect the thin sensor wires for cuts, pinches, or signs of moisture ingress. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
• Test sensor resistance: Disconnect the sensor from the harness and measure resistance with a multimeter. At room temperature (around 25°C), most NTCs read between 5–20 kΩ (check service data if available). A reading of 0 Ω (short) or infinite (open) indicates a bad sensor.
• Check connector at PCB: Reseat the NTC connector on the main control board. Clean any corrosion.
• Replace sensor: If readings are out of range, replace the Bauknecht evaporator NTC sensor with the correct part number. Clip or insert it back in the original position to ensure proper thermal contact.

After replacement, restore power and allow the unit to run a full cycle to confirm the E2 code is cleared.
