Possible Causes
Blocked condenser airflow, Severely dirty condenser coil, Overcharged or undercharged refrigerant system, Faulty high-pressure switch (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or accessing the compressor area. Refrigerant work must be performed by a certified technician.
- Improve ventilation: Verify that the ice maker has the clearances specified by Brandt and that cabinet grills are not blocked.
- Clean condenser thoroughly: Remove rear panel and clean the condenser coil with a vacuum and soft brush. For heavy grease, use a coil cleaner approved for refrigeration systems.
- Check condenser fan operation: Confirm the fan runs whenever the compressor is on. Replace the condenser fan motor if it fails to start or runs slowly.
- Inspect high-pressure switch: Some models include a resettable high-pressure switch. After cooling, press the reset button if present. If the switch trips repeatedly, a deeper refrigeration issue exists.
- Call a professional: If E10 persists after airflow and cleaning corrections, a sealed-system technician should check refrigerant charge, high-side pressures, and replace the high-pressure switch if defective.
