E05 displayed, ice bin is empty, water does not flow into ice maker

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker and shut off the household water supply valve before disconnecting any water lines.

• Check external water supply: Verify that the shutoff valve feeding the Ikea ice maker is fully open. Inspect the flexible water line for kinks or crushing behind cabinets.
• Clean inlet screen: Disconnect the water line at the back of the ice maker. Look inside the water inlet valve fitting for a small mesh screen. Remove debris with a small brush and rinse under water.
• Test water inlet valve: With the unit unplugged, remove the rear panel to access the valve. Disconnect the electrical connectors and measure coil resistance; an open circuit indicates a bad valve. Replace the water inlet valve assembly if defective.
• Check for water flow: Briefly open the supply line into a bucket to confirm strong water flow from the house plumbing. If flow is weak, correct the plumbing issue.
• Inspect water level sensor: Some Ikea ice makers use a float or electronic level sensor in the reservoir. Ensure the float moves freely and is not stuck by scale. Clean mineral buildup with warm vinegar solution.
• Reassemble and test: Reconnect all lines, turn on water, restore power, and run a test fill cycle.
