Possible Causes
Control board in protection mode, Ice maker not reinitialized, Frozen water line after long off period, Faulty ice maker module triggered by surge
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Ensure power is stable before repeated resets.
- Wait for stabilization: After restoring power, allow the refrigerator to cool to proper temperature (up to 24 hours) before expecting normal ice production.
- Reset ice maker: Use the Bosch control panel to turn the ice maker off and back on, or press the test/reset button on the ice maker if present.
- Check water line: If the unit was in a cold environment, verify the water line is not frozen. Thaw gently if needed.
- Surge damage: If the ice maker never cycles again after a power event, the module may be damaged and require replacement.
