Possible Causes
Refrigerant leak in evaporator or condenser, Restricted capillary tube, Weak compressor, Faulty system pressure sensor (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system yourself. Refrigerant handling requires certification and specialized tools.
User-level checks:
- Ventilation: Ensure proper airflow around the unit and clean the condenser coil and fan as poor cooling can mimic low refrigerant symptoms.
- Ambient temperature: Confirm the ice maker is operating within the recommended room temperature range (typically 50–90°F / 10–32°C).
- Listen for compressor: Note whether the compressor runs continuously without producing ice or cycles rapidly.
Professional service required:
- If E9 persists after basic checks, a certified technician must test system pressures, locate leaks, and recharge or repair the sealed system.
- Components that may need replacement include the evaporator coil, condenser coil, capillary tube, or compressor.
