E3 error on display; ice maker may start but stops mid-cycle or fails to harvest ice.

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

Steps to resolve E3:

• Empty the ice basket: Remove all ice from the storage bin. Overfilled bins can block the sensor and trigger an error.
• Locate the ice level sensor: On many Gevi models, this is an infrared emitter/receiver pair or a small optical window near the top of the ice bin, or a mechanical flap that detects ice height.
• Clean the sensor area: Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with warm water to wipe the sensor windows or flap. Remove frost, mineral deposits, or dust that could block the beam.
• Check alignment: Ensure the emitter and receiver modules face each other directly and that any plastic brackets are not bent. Gently adjust if misaligned.
• Inspect wiring: Follow the sensor wires back to the control board. Confirm connectors are fully seated and wires are not pinched by panels.
• Test operation: Plug the unit back in and run a cycle with the bin empty. If E3 clears and the unit runs normally, monitor for recurrence.
• Replace sensor if needed: If E3 persists and the sensor is clean and aligned, replace the ice level sensor assembly with a Gevi-compatible part. If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the main control PCB may be faulty and should be evaluated by a technician.
