Ice maker shows E7 and may stop with water left on the evaporator or in the sump.

Safety first: Unplug the appliance. The heater area can be hot; allow it to cool before touching.

• Access evaporator and heater: Remove the front cover and ice bin to expose the evaporator plate and attached heater strip or wire.
• Inspect heater wiring: Look for burnt insulation, loose connectors, or signs of overheating along the heater leads.
• Test heater element: Disconnect the heater leads and measure resistance with a multimeter. An open circuit indicates a failed heater.
• Check thermal fuse (if fitted): Some Gorenje models include a thermal cutoff in series with the heater. Test for continuity; replace if open.
• Verify relay output: If the heater and fuse test good, check for voltage at the heater terminals during harvest (requires live testing; only for qualified persons). Lack of voltage may indicate a bad relay on the main PCB.
• Replace faulty parts: Install a new heater assembly or thermal fuse as needed. If the PCB relay is defective, replace the main control board.
