Possible Causes

Failed bin thermostat, loose thermostat bulb or sensor, damaged thermostat wiring, control board misreading bin temperature

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Unplug the unit before accessing the bin area.

Steps to resolve E19:

  • Locate bin sensor: Find the bin thermostat or temperature sensor, usually mounted on or near the ice storage bin wall.
  • Check mounting: Ensure the sensor or bulb is firmly attached to the bin surface and not hanging loose.
  • Inspect wiring: Follow the wires back to the control board, checking for damage or loose connectors.
  • Test thermostat: Disconnect and test for continuity at different temperatures (e.g., room temperature vs. cooled with ice). Replace if readings are not as specified.
  • Replace bin thermostat: Install a new Koldfront-compatible bin thermostat or sensor and secure it in the original location.
  • Test: Restore power and monitor operation to ensure E19 is cleared and bin temperature is controlled.
