How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker before removing the control panel.
UI troubleshooting:
- Inspect panel: Check the Siemens touch panel or button interface for cracks, signs of moisture, or physical damage.
- Check connections: Remove the front control panel and inspect the ribbon cable or harness connecting to the main control board. Reseat connectors and ensure they are fully engaged.
- Dry moisture: If condensation or spills have entered the panel, allow it to dry completely for 24 hours in a warm, dry environment before reassembly.
- Replace UI: If buttons remain unresponsive or random selections occur, replace the user interface panel with the correct Siemens part.
If E14 persists: The main control PCB may have a communication fault and require replacement by a qualified technician.
