E18
E18 error code, unit may leak water into the bin or show irregular harvest timing.
Drain Valve / Solenoid Fault (for Tower models with drain function)
E19
E19 error appears; unit may not detect when the bin is empty and fails to restart ice production.
Bin Level Detection Fault
E2
Display shows E2 and ice production stops shortly after starting a cycle.
Ice Tray / Evaporator Temperature Sensor Failure
E20
E20 error code, unit may freeze water but not release cubes properly.
Evaporator Defrost / Release Fault
E3
Unit powers on but shows E3 and will not start ice making.
Ambient Temperature Sensor Failure
E4
Display shows E4 and the compressor does not run; fan may still operate.
Defrost / Evaporator Over-Temperature Protection Fault
E5
E5 error appears and ice production stops mid-cycle.
Water Level Sensor / Float Switch Fault
E6
Display shows E6 and the unit beeps; ice making does not start.
Ice Full Sensor / Infrared Beam Fault
E7
E7 error appears, compressor and fan do not start, unit may beep continuously.
Compressor Overload / High Temperature Protection
E8
E8 error code, unit powers but no ice is produced; compressor relay may click repeatedly.
Compressor Start Failure
E9
E9 error appears and the water pump does not run; no water flows over the evaporator.
Water Pump Circuit Fault
Symptom
Display is dim, flickering, or segments are missing, but the unit still makes ice.
Display Module Degradation
Symptom
Ice cubes are larger than normal and may stick together in clumps.
Overfilling / Excessive Ice Thickness
Symptom
Ice has an unpleasant taste or odor.
Contaminated Water Path / Odor Absorption
Symptom
Ice maker displays normal operation but ice output is inconsistent (sometimes normal, sometimes none).
Intermittent Operation / Loose Connection
Symptom
Ice maker does not power on at all, no lights or display.
No Power / Dead Unit
Symptom
Ice maker is very noisy during operation (grinding, rattling, or buzzing sounds).
Excessive Operational Noise
Symptom
Ice maker leaks water onto the countertop or floor.
External Water Leak
Symptom
Ice maker produces ice very slowly compared to normal operation.
Reduced Cooling Capacity
Symptom
Ice maker runs but produces no ice at all; evaporator does not get cold.
No Cooling / Refrigeration Failure
Symptom
Ice maker runs but produces very small or hollow ice cubes.
Insufficient Water Fill / Poor Ice Formation
Symptom
Ice maker runs continuously and does not stop even when the bin is full.
Bin Full Detection Failure
Symptom
Ice maker starts a cycle then shuts off after a few minutes without making ice.
Premature Cycle Termination
Symptom
Ice maker vibrates excessively or moves on the countertop during operation.
Excessive Vibration
Symptom
Ice maker will not start; display is on but buttons do not respond.
User Interface Lockup / Keypad Failure
Symptom
Ice melts quickly in the bin and the bin area feels warm.
Poor Ice Storage Cooling / Insulation Issue
Symptom
Loud knocking or banging noise when ice is dropping into the bin.
Ice Drop Impact / Bin Cushioning Issue
Symptom
Unit trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when turned on.
Electrical Short / Ground Fault
Symptom
Visible mold, slime, or heavy scale buildup inside the ice maker.
Severe Internal Contamination
Symptom
Water accumulates inside the unit or under the ice basket, but not outside the cabinet.
