Possible Causes
Blocked condenser airflow, Failed condenser fan motor, Excessive ambient temperature around built-in unit, Overcharged or restricted sealed system (requires pro service)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Unplug the ice maker. Components near the condenser can be hot; allow cooling time.
Steps:
- Improve ventilation: Ensure cabinetry cutout and toe-kick openings meet Café installation specs. Remove any items blocking airflow.
- Clean condenser: Vacuum and brush the condenser coils thoroughly.
- Check condenser fan: Verify the fan spins freely by hand. If stiff or noisy, replace the fan motor.
- Observe operation: Restore power and confirm the fan runs whenever the compressor is on.
- If E17 persists: A sealed system issue may be causing high pressure. Contact a qualified refrigeration technician for further diagnosis.
