Possible Causes

Blocked ventilation grills, Failed internal cooling fan, Excessive ambient temperature, Faulty thermal fuse or thermostat

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before servicing.

  • Step 1 – Improve ventilation: Move the unit to an open area with good airflow. Ensure no objects block the side or rear vents.
  • Step 2 – Clean air paths: Remove dust from all vents and grills using a vacuum and soft brush.
  • Step 3 – Check internal fan: Remove the rear panel to locate any internal cabinet fan (if equipped). Spin the blades by hand to ensure they move freely.
  • Step 4 – Test fan operation: With the panel off and hands clear, briefly power the unit and observe if the fan runs. If not, unplug and replace the internal cooling fan motor.
  • Step 5 – Inspect thermal cutout: Locate the thermal fuse or thermostat clipped to the compressor or frame. Check for discoloration or damage.
  • Step 6 – Replace faulty thermal device: If the thermal fuse is open (no continuity), replace it with a matching Pro Breeze thermal fuse/thermostat rated for the same temperature.
  • Step 7 – Reassemble and test: Refit panels, plug in, and monitor operation. If E10 recurs in a cool, well-ventilated environment, professional diagnosis of the sealed system is recommended.
