How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off and unplug the ice maker before inspecting electrical connections.
- Check outlet and circuit: Plug the ice maker into a dedicated, properly grounded outlet. Avoid extension cords or power strips.
- Inspect power cord: Examine the Brandt power cord for cuts, burns, or kinks. Replace the cord set if damaged.
- Verify terminal block: If accessible, check the internal terminal block where the cord connects to the unit. Tighten any loose screws (with power disconnected).
- Monitor voltage: Use a multimeter to confirm that supply voltage is within Brandt's specified range. If voltage is unstable, consult an electrician.
- Control board replacement: If E12 persists with stable power and good connections, the internal power supply on the main PCB may be failing and the board should be replaced.
