How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the control compartment.
- Power cycle: Unplug the Hoover ice maker for at least 10 minutes, then plug back in. This can clear transient memory faults.
- Inspect control board: Remove the control cover and visually inspect the PCB for damage. Check for any configuration jumpers or DIP switches and verify they match the model’s service documentation.
- Check connectors: Reseat all connectors to the control board, especially those from sensors and the user interface.
- Surge protection: If E16 occurred after a storm or power event, consider using a surge protector to prevent future damage.
- Replace control PCB: If E16 persists and the board appears original but corrupted, replace the main control PCB with the exact Hoover part number. Ensure any programming or configuration steps in the service manual are followed.
