Display shows E5; ice maker stops; water does not enter the unit or stops mid-cycle due to water error.

Safety: Unplug the unit and close the water supply valve before disconnecting any hoses.

Steps to resolve E5:

• Check water supply: Ensure the building water supply valve feeding the Vestfrost ice maker is fully open. Verify that other fixtures on the same line have good pressure.
• Inspect inlet hose: Look for kinks, sharp bends, or crushing in the flexible inlet hose. Straighten or replace if damaged.
• Clean inlet screen: Disconnect the inlet hose at the back of the ice maker. Inside the valve connection, there is usually a small mesh filter. Remove and rinse this screen under running water to clear debris.
• Test water flow: Briefly open the supply valve with the hose directed into a bucket to confirm strong flow from the building supply. Close valve again afterward.
• Check inlet valve coil: With power disconnected, access the water inlet valve and measure coil resistance with a multimeter. A reading of open circuit (OL) indicates a failed coil. Replace the valve if defective.
• Reassemble and test: Reconnect the hose, open the water valve, restore power, and run a test cycle to confirm that E5 is cleared and water fills correctly.

Note: If your water supply pressure is below the Vestfrost minimum specification, a booster pump may be required.
