E06 error, ice maker stops, ice is thin, misshapen, or not releasing properly

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the evaporator compartment.

• 1. Access evaporator: Remove the front or top panel to expose the evaporator grid or plate where ice forms.
• 2. Locate thermistor: Find the small sensor (often in a plastic clip) attached to or near the evaporator surface. Ensure it is firmly clipped in place and making good contact.
• 3. Inspect wiring: Follow the thermistor wires back to the main PCB. Look for cuts, pinches, or loose connectors. Reseat the plug at the board.
• 4. Test resistance: Disconnect the thermistor and measure its resistance at room temperature. Compare to the Iceman service chart (commonly 5–20 kΩ depending on model). A reading of 0 Ω (short) or infinite (open) indicates a bad sensor.
• 5. Replace thermistor: If out of spec, install a new evaporator thermistor, routing the wires away from sharp edges and hot components. Clear the error by unplugging for 5 minutes and restarting.

Warning: Do not bend or damage the evaporator grid while working; it is easily punctured and non-repairable.
