How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before removing the control panel.
- Access control area: Remove the front bezel or top cover to expose the display and main control board.
- Check ribbon cable: Disconnect and inspect the ribbon cable between the user interface and main PCB. Look for corrosion, bent pins, or damage. Reseat firmly.
- Inspect for moisture: Look for condensation or water tracks on the control board. Dry the area thoroughly and correct any door or panel gasket issues that allow moisture in.
- Power supply check: Using a multimeter, verify that the low-voltage supply from the main board to the display is stable and within specification.
- Replace faulty board: If connections and voltages are correct but the error persists, replace the user interface PCB or main control board with the appropriate Hansa part.
