Frigidaire ice maker displays E9 and ice production is very low or none

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing panels. Refrigeration work involves high pressure and should be done by an EPA-certified technician.

Basic checks a homeowner can do:

• Ensure the condenser coil is clean and the condenser fan is running properly.
• Verify the unit has adequate ventilation around it and is not pushed tightly against a wall or cabinet.
• Listen for the compressor: it should run smoothly without loud clicking or buzzing.
• If the compressor repeatedly clicks on and off every few seconds, the start relay or overload may be failing. These components are usually mounted on the side of the compressor.
• Visually inspect the start relay for signs of burning or cracking. If damaged, replace the compressor start device with a Frigidaire-approved kit.

If E9 remains or cooling is still poor: The sealed system (compressor, refrigerant, capillary) likely has a fault. This requires specialized tools and should be diagnosed and repaired by a professional refrigeration technician.
