Safety first: Unplug the ice maker and allow it to cool before servicing the rear compartment.

Clean condenser coil: Remove the rear panel and use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser fins. Ensure good airflow.
Check condenser fan: Spin the fan blade by hand; it should move freely. If stiff or noisy, the fan motor may be failing. Confirm the fan runs when the unit is powered (for qualified persons only).
Locate condenser sensor: The NTC is usually clipped to the condenser tubing or nearby bracket. Inspect for secure mounting and intact wiring.
Test sensor: Disconnect and measure resistance at room temperature. Compare to Gorenje's NTC chart. Replace if open, shorted, or out of range.
Improve ventilation: Ensure the ice maker has the recommended clearance around it and is not installed in a confined, hot cabinet.
Replace faulty parts: Install a new condenser sensor or fan motor if defective, then restore power and verify that E9 does not return.

Unit displays E9 and stops; fan may run but compressor cycles abnormally, ice production very low or none.
