Ice maker displays E13; compressor and fan may run continuously with no ice production, or unit shuts down on protection.

Safety first: Refrigerant systems are sealed and under pressure. Do not cut or open lines unless you are a certified refrigeration technician.

• Check for obvious leaks: Look for oily residue on joints, evaporator, and condenser tubing, which can indicate refrigerant leakage.
• Verify condenser and evaporator fans: Ensure all fans are operating and coils are clean to rule out airflow issues.
• Listen to compressor: A compressor that runs but never cools, combined with E13, often indicates a refrigerant problem.
• Do not attempt DIY recharge: Gorenje systems require specific refrigerant types and charge amounts. Improper charging can damage the compressor.
• Contact a professional: Have a certified technician perform leak detection, repair, evacuation, and recharging according to manufacturer specifications.
