How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before inspecting electronics.
- Power reset: Unplug the ice maker or switch off the breaker for at least 5 minutes, then restore power to clear transient faults.
- Check for other symptoms: Note any unusual noises, lack of water, or temperature issues that may point to a specific subsystem.
- Inspect control board: Remove the access panel and look for burned components, bulging capacitors, or scorch marks on the KitchenAid control board.
- Verify ground and neutral: Ensure the unit is properly grounded and neutral connections are tight.
- Replace control board: If the error returns immediately and no external cause is found, replace the main control board with the correct OEM part.
