Possible Causes

Failed evaporator thermistor, Loose thermistor connection at control board, Damaged thermistor wiring harness, Corroded thermistor mounting point

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the evaporator or control compartment. Avoid bending refrigerant lines.

  • Locate thermistor: Access the evaporator plate area. The thermistor is typically clipped or bonded to the evaporator surface or nearby tubing.
  • Inspect wiring: Follow the thermistor leads back to the main control board. Check for chafed insulation, broken wires, or loose connectors. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
  • Test thermistor: Disconnect the thermistor and measure resistance at room temperature and in ice water. Compare readings to Electrolux specifications. A shorted or open thermistor must be replaced.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the thermistor is firmly attached to the evaporator surface with the correct clip or thermal compound so it senses temperature accurately.
  • Replace thermistor: Install an OEM Electrolux evaporator thermistor, route the harness away from moving parts, reconnect to the board, and clear the error via power cycle or service mode.
