How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before inspection.

  • Reset the unit: Leave unplugged for 10 minutes, then reconnect and try again. Sometimes transient faults clear after a full power cycle.
  • Check recent work: If parts were recently replaced, verify all connectors are in the correct sockets and fully seated. Confirm that replacement parts match Candy part numbers.
  • Inspect sensors: Look for any disconnected or obviously damaged sensors (temperature, water level, ice full, etc.). Reconnect or replace as needed.
  • Service mode (if available): Some models allow entering a diagnostic mode to pinpoint the failing component. Refer to the service manual or contact Candy support.
  • Board replacement: If no obvious hardware issue is found and E17 persists, the main control board may be defective and require replacement.
