Possible Causes

Blocked ice full sensor window, Misaligned infrared emitter/receiver, Failed ice full sensor board, Loose wiring to ice full sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or adjusting sensors.

Steps to fix E6:

  • Clean sensor windows: Locate the ice full sensor near the top of the ice storage bin (often a small window or pair of lenses). Wipe both sides with a soft, damp cloth to remove frost, dust, or mineral film.
  • Check for obstructions: Make sure no ice is piled directly in front of the sensor. Remove excess ice and restart the unit.
  • Inspect alignment: If your model uses an infrared emitter and receiver on opposite sides of the bin, ensure both boards are firmly mounted and facing each other.
  • Check wiring: Follow the sensor wires to the main control board. Reseat connectors and look for damage.
  • Replace sensor: If E6 persists, replace the ice full sensor assembly (IR emitter/receiver or optical sensor) with a Galanz-compatible part.

When to call a technician: If replacing the sensor does not clear E6, the control board may be faulty and should be checked by a professional.
