Possible Causes
Faulty user interface board, broken wiring between UI and main PCB, failed main control board output to ice maker, software lockout after previous fault
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing control panels.
- Step 1 – Check child lock: Ensure any control lock or Sabbath mode is disabled on the Fisher & Paykel display.
- Step 2 – Power cycle: Unplug the appliance for 10 minutes to clear any software lockout, then try enabling ice again.
- Step 3 – Inspect UI connections: Remove the control panel and verify the ribbon cable or harness is firmly connected.
- Step 4 – Professional diagnosis: If the ice maker still cannot be enabled, the UI or main control board likely requires replacement and should be tested by a technician.
As a temporary measure, you can still use the refrigerator/freezer while the ice function is disabled.
