Euhomy ice maker shows E6 and does not produce ice; compressor may run briefly then stop.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit. Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system yourself; refrigerant handling requires certification.
User-level checks:
- 1. Defrost the unit: Leave the ice maker unplugged with the lid open for 24 hours to fully defrost any internal ice buildup on the evaporator. Then restart and observe performance.
- 2. Listen for compressor: When powered on, listen for the compressor starting and running steadily. If it clicks on and off rapidly, there may be a mechanical or electrical issue.
- 3. Check airflow: Ensure the condenser fan is running and the coil is clean. Poor cooling on the condenser side can mimic a sealed system fault.
- 4. Inspect for oil stains: Look around copper tubing and joints for oily residue, which can indicate a refrigerant leak.
Important: If E6 persists after defrosting and cleaning, the problem is likely within the sealed refrigeration system (leak, blockage, or compressor failure). This requires a professional technician with refrigeration tools to diagnose and repair. Do not attempt to recharge refrigerant yourself.
