Display shows E9, unit may not start compressor or may shut down unexpectedly.

Safety: Unplug the ice maker before accessing the compressor compartment. Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.

Basic checks:

• Verify power supply: Ensure the outlet provides correct voltage (typically 115V in North America). Avoid extension cords.
• Listen for compressor: When powered, does the compressor click on and off repeatedly without running? This suggests start device or compressor issues.

Start components:

• Access the compressor at the rear bottom of the unit. Remove the cover over the electrical terminals.
• Inspect the start relay and overload protector for signs of burning or melting.
• Test continuity of the overload and relay with a multimeter. Replace the compressor start relay and overload kit if defective.

If E9 persists:

• A locked or internally damaged compressor or a control board relay fault may be present. These require diagnosis and repair by a certified refrigeration technician.
