Possible Causes

Misadjusted ice thickness probe, Scale buildup on thickness sensor, Failed thickness sensor or wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker before reaching near the evaporator plate or thickness probe.

Steps to resolve E10:

  • Locate the thickness sensor: On many NewAir models, this is a metal or plastic probe near the evaporator plate that senses ice thickness during harvest.
  • Clean the probe: Use a soft cloth and a 1:1 mixture of white vinegar and water to remove mineral deposits. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • Check adjustment: Some probes are adjustable via a small screw or bracket. Ensure it is set according to the NewAir manual (typically a specific gap from the evaporator surface).
  • Inspect wiring: Verify the sensor harness is intact and firmly connected to the control board.
  • Replace if defective: If cleaning and adjustment do not clear E10, replace the ice thickness sensor with a compatible NewAir part.
  • Test operation: After reassembly, run several cycles and confirm that ice cubes are uniform and that E10 does not return.
