How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker and wait several minutes before touching internal electronics. Static discharge can damage components.

  • Step 1 – Confirm power supply: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Avoid using extension cords or power strips.
  • Step 2 – Inspect power cord: Check for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. Replace the cord set if damaged.
  • Step 3 – Access control board: Remove the rear or side panel to expose the main PCB (usually behind a plastic cover).
  • Step 4 – Check connectors: Reseat all multi-pin connectors to the PCB, including those for the compressor, fan, sensors, and user interface.
  • Step 5 – Visual inspection: Look for burnt components, swollen capacitors, or darkened areas on the PCB. Any visible damage typically means the board must be replaced.
  • Step 6 – Replace PCB: Order a compatible Pro Breeze main control board. Transfer each connector one at a time from the old board to the new one to avoid miswiring.
  • Step 7 – Reassemble and test: Refit covers, plug in the unit, and run a full cycle. If E6 persists even with a new board, further diagnosis by a technician is recommended.
