How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker before cleaning or servicing the condenser area.
- Clean condenser: Remove the lower front or rear grille and use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint from the condenser coil.
- Check condenser fan: Verify the condenser fan motor spins freely by hand and runs when the compressor is on. Replace the fan motor if seized or not receiving power.
- Verify installation conditions: Ensure the unit is not installed in a confined cabinet without ventilation and that ambient temperature is within the specified range in the manual.
- Inspect high-temp sensor: Locate the thermal sensor or cutoff near the compressor or condenser. Test continuity; replace if open when at normal temperature.
- Reset and test: After cleaning and any part replacement, allow the unit to cool, then restore power and run a cycle to confirm the E10 code is cleared.
