Possible Causes

Room temperature below manufacturer minimum, Faulty ambient temperature sensor, Incorrect installation in unheated area (garage, outdoors)

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing sensors.

Resolution:

  • Check installation location: Confirm the SMEG ice maker is not installed in an unheated space where temperatures drop below the specified minimum (often around 10°C). Move the unit to a suitable location if necessary.
  • Measure room temperature: Use a thermometer to verify actual ambient temperature. If within range but the unit still reports low ambient, suspect a sensor issue.
  • Inspect ambient sensor: Locate the ambient temperature sensor (often near the air intake). Check for damage and test resistance against SMEG specifications. Replace if readings are incorrect.
  • Reset code: After correcting the environment or replacing the sensor, power cycle the unit to clear the E15 error.
