Ice maker runs but stops mid-cycle, water fills but ice does not harvest, error E2 appears on display.

Safety first: Disconnect the ice maker from power before removing covers or the ice bin.

• Empty and reseat the bin: Remove the ice storage bin, empty any ice, clean and dry it, then reinstall it fully. Ensure it is seated correctly against the rear switch or sensor area.
• Clean the sensor area: If your Brandt model uses an infrared (IR) ice level sensor, gently clean the emitter and receiver windows with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Dry thoroughly to remove condensation or mineral film.
• Check mechanical flap (if equipped): Some models use a mechanical lever or flap to detect a full bin. Make sure it moves freely and is not jammed by ice, plastic flashing, or debris.
• Inspect wiring: With power off, trace the bin sensor harness from the sensor to the main control board. Look for broken wires, loose connectors, or corrosion. Reseat the connector at the PCB.
• Test the sensor: Use a multimeter to check continuity or voltage change when the bin is full vs. empty (refer to Brandt service data). If readings do not change, replace the ice level sensor assembly.
• Control board check: If a new sensor does not clear E2, the bin sensor input on the main PCB may be defective and the board will need replacement.
