Display shows E6 and ice production stops; water may not enter the ice maker.

Safety: Unplug the unit and turn off the household water supply to the ice maker before disconnecting any water lines.

• Check water supply: Confirm the shutoff valve to the ice maker is fully open and that household water pressure is adequate.
• Inspect supply line: Look for kinks, sharp bends, or freezing in the plastic or copper line feeding the Hotpoint ice maker. Straighten or thaw as needed.
• Clean inlet screen: Remove the water line from the inlet valve at the back of the unit. Check the valve's inlet screen for debris and clean gently with a small brush.
• Test valve coil (if you have a meter): With power off and wires disconnected, measure resistance across the valve coil terminals. An open circuit indicates a bad valve.
• Replace water inlet valve: If the valve coil is defective or the valve is stuck closed, install a new OEM Hotpoint water inlet valve assembly. Use Teflon tape on threaded fittings and check for leaks after turning water back on.

Restore power and run a fill cycle. If E6 remains, the control board or flow sensor may be faulty and require professional service.
