E6 error code; unit may start but quickly shuts off, often with compressor not engaging properly.

Safety first: Unplug the ice maker. The compressor and start components can store energy; handle with care.

• Step 1 – Access compressor compartment: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the compressor and its start relay/overload assembly on your Teendow unit.
• Step 2 – Inspect start relay and overload: Remove the plastic cover on the compressor terminals. Check the relay and overload for burn marks, rattling pieces, or melted plastic.
• Step 3 – Test components: Using a multimeter, check continuity through the overload and relay according to Teendow specs. An open overload or burnt relay requires replacement.
• Step 4 – Replace start kit: Install a Teendow-compatible compressor start relay/overload (and capacitor if used). Ensure each terminal is firmly connected and the cover is reinstalled.
• Step 5 – Evaluate compressor: If new start components do not resolve E6 and the compressor hums then clicks off, the compressor may be mechanically locked and require professional replacement.
