Possible Causes

Loose sensor connectors, Oxidized contacts on PCB, Electrical noise or unstable power, Aging sensors drifting out of range

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing internal wiring.

Steps:

  • Reseat connectors: Unplug and reattach all sensor connectors (water level, ice full, temperature) on the main PCB.
  • Clean contacts: Use contact cleaner on oxidized connectors.
  • Stable power: Plug the unit directly into a wall outlet, avoiding power strips with many devices.
  • Replace suspect sensors: If one sensor is consistently implicated (e.g., low water), replace that specific sensor assembly.
