Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and allow any ice on the evaporator to melt before working near the ice thickness probe.
- Locate the thickness sensor: On many Candy models, a metal or plastic probe hangs near the evaporator to detect ice thickness.
- Clean the probe: Wipe the probe with a soft cloth and descaling solution to remove mineral deposits that can affect sensing.
- Check adjustment: Some probes are adjustable. Refer to your user or service manual for the correct gap between the probe and evaporator. Adjust gently if needed.
- Inspect wiring: Ensure the probe’s cable is intact and firmly connected to the control board.
- Test function: After cleaning and adjustment, run a cycle and observe ice size. If E11 returns or ice remains inconsistent, replace the ice thickness sensor assembly.
