How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before servicing.
- Step 1 – Improve ventilation: Ensure your Teendow ice maker has the recommended clearance on all sides and is not installed in a confined, unventilated space.
- Step 2 – Clean condenser: Remove dust and lint from the condenser coil with a brush and vacuum.
- Step 3 – Check condenser fan: Confirm the fan spins freely and runs when the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if it is not operating.
- Step 4 – Inspect overheat thermostat: Locate the thermal cutout or thermostat on the compressor or cabinet. Test for continuity when cool; replace if open when it should be closed.
- Step 5 – Reset and test: Some models have a manual reset button on the thermal protector. Reset if present, then monitor operation. If E16 recurs, further diagnosis of the refrigeration system may be required.
