Possible Causes
Low or high line voltage outside operating range, Defective internal power supply module, Loose mains terminal block connections
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the ice maker before opening any electrical compartments. Work only if you are familiar with mains safety.
- Measure mains voltage: Use a multimeter to check the outlet voltage. Gorenje ice makers typically require stable 220–240 V AC. If voltage is unstable, contact an electrician.
- Inspect plug and cord: Look for heat damage or looseness at the plug. Replace the cord set if necessary.
- Check internal terminal block: Remove the rear cover and inspect the mains terminal block for loose screws or discoloration. Tighten connections securely.
- Examine power supply board: Look for bulging capacitors, burnt components, or cracked solder joints on the low-voltage power supply section of the main PCB.
- Replace power module/PCB: If the supply is confirmed stable but E12 persists and the board shows damage or incorrect output voltages, replace the main control PCB or separate power module as per Gorenje design.
