Kenmore ice maker displays E13 and stops; often associated with overfilling or water in the bin.

Safety First: Unplug the unit and shut off water supply before investigating leaks or overflow conditions.

• Inspect for standing water: Remove the front kick plate or rear panel and look for water in the base pan. Dry thoroughly with towels.
• Check overflow float: Locate the overflow float or leak sensor (often in the base). Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck in the up (alarm) position.
• Clear the drain: Verify the internal drain from the reservoir and bin is not clogged with scale or debris. Flush with warm water and a small brush.
• Test the sensor: Disconnect the overflow sensor and check continuity while moving the float. Replace if it remains closed or open regardless of position.
• Correct leak sources: Inspect hose connections, pump seals, and reservoir for cracks. Repair or replace leaking components before restoring power.
