Possible Causes

Failed harvest motor, Jammed ice sweep arm, Broken gear in harvest assembly, Faulty harvest position sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the Café ice maker. Moving parts in the harvest assembly can cause injury; keep fingers clear.

Steps:

  • Observe harvest mechanism: If possible, run a test cycle (with panels removed only if safe and allowed by the manual) to see if the sweep arm or harvest motor attempts to move.
  • Check for jams: With power off, inspect the ice sweep arm and surrounding area for broken ice chunks, plastic fragments, or foreign objects blocking movement.
  • Inspect gears and linkage: Remove the harvest cover to expose gears. Look for stripped or missing teeth and cracked plastic components.
  • Verify wiring: Ensure the harvest motor and position sensor connectors are fully seated on the control board.
  • Replace harvest motor assembly: If the motor is seized or gears are damaged, remove mounting screws, disconnect wiring, and install a new Café harvest motor/gear assembly.
  • Reassemble and test: Restore power and run a cycle to confirm smooth harvest and that E10 clears.
