ADD WATER
Display shows “ADD WATER” or water indicator light is on; unit will not start ice cycle.
Low Water Level Detection
E1
Unit powers on but does not make ice; display shows E1 shortly after startup.
Water Supply Sensor / Low Water Fault
E2
SPT ice maker stops mid-cycle and displays E2; ice shovel or ice pusher arm is stuck.
Ice Shovel / Motor Jam Fault

Ice Tray Position Sensor / Motor Fault
E4
Unit displays E4 and stops; ice production halts and compressor may not run.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor Fault
E5
SPT ice maker shows E5; compressor may start briefly then shut off; no ice is produced.
Compressor Overload / High Temperature Protection Fault
E6
Display shows E6; unit may beep and stop; ice level does not seem to be detected correctly.
Ice Full Sensor / Infrared Beam Fault
E7
Unit displays E7 and will not start an ice-making cycle.
Ambient Temperature Sensor Fault
E8
SPT ice maker shows E8; unit may power on but no functions respond or cycle will not start.
Control Board Communication / Internal Fault
E9
Display shows E9; ice maker may start but shuts down quickly; fan may not run.
Condenser Fan / Airflow Fault
ICE FULL
Display shows “ICE FULL” or ice full light stays on even when basket is empty; unit will not make ice.
False Ice Bin Full Detection
Symptom
Buttons on the control panel do not respond or respond intermittently.
User Interface / Keypad Failure
Symptom
Display is blank or very dim, but unit still runs.
Display Backlight / UI Power Issue
Symptom
High-pitched squealing or rattling noise from the rear of the unit.
Condenser Fan or Compressor Mount Noise
Symptom
Ice cubes appear cloudy or white instead of clear.
High Mineral Content / Aerated Water
Symptom
Ice cubes are hollow, very small, or melt quickly in the bin.
Improper Freeze Cycle / Short Freeze Time
Symptom
Ice has a bad taste or odor.
Water Contamination / Biofilm or Mineral Buildup
Symptom
Ice maker does not power on at all; no lights or display.
No Power / Dead Unit
Symptom
Unit continuously runs but produces too much ice and overflows the basket.
Ice Level Detection Failure (No Shutoff)
Symptom
Unit displays incorrect status (e.g., shows ICE FULL when making ice, or ADD WATER when full).
Sensor Calibration / Logic Error
Symptom
Unit displays lights but the compressor never starts; only fan and pump run.
Compressor Start Circuit Failure
Symptom
Unit forms a solid block of ice on the evaporator instead of individual cubes.
Overfreeze / Extended Freeze Cycle
Symptom
Unit forms ice on the evaporator, but cubes do not drop into the basket.
Harvest Failure / Ice Release Problem
Symptom
Unit frequently trips the household circuit breaker or GFCI outlet.
Electrical Short / Ground Fault
Symptom
Unit leaks water onto the counter or floor during operation.
Water System Leak / Drainage Fault
Symptom
Unit makes ice very slowly; ice cubes are small or thin.
Reduced Cooling Efficiency / Poor Heat Exchange
Symptom
Unit makes loud grinding or clicking noises during ice harvest.
Mechanical Drive / Gear Train Wear
Symptom
Unit operates but ice production stops after several hours until power is cycled.
Intermittent Control Board / Sensor Lockup
Symptom
Unit powers on but does not make any ice; compressor and fan do not run.
Control Board Not Activating Cooling Circuit
Symptom
Unit runs but makes no ice; evaporator plate does not get cold.
Refrigerant System Failure / Loss of Charge
Symptom
Unit shuts off unexpectedly during operation without any error code.
Overheat Protection / Thermal Cutout
Symptom
Unit vibrates excessively or moves on the countertop during operation.
Vibration / Leveling Issue
Symptom
Water appears inside the ice storage bin or under the ice basket.
Poor Ice Drainage / Meltwater Management
Symptom
Water does not flow into the ice-making tray; unit runs but tray remains dry.
Water Pump / Circulation Failure
Symptom
Water overflows the ice tray and spills back into the bin or inside the cabinet.
