Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the ice maker and close the water supply valve.
- Locate level control: In the sump area, identify the float switch or electronic water level probe.
- Clean components: Remove mineral deposits and slime from the float and surrounding area using warm water and a soft brush. For probes, clean with a non-abrasive pad.
- Check float movement: Ensure the float moves freely up and down. If it binds, correct the alignment or replace the float assembly.
- Test switch: Disconnect the float switch and test continuity while moving the float. Replace if it does not open/close reliably.
- Inspect wiring: Verify the harness is intact and firmly connected to the control board.
- Reassemble and test: Restore water and power, then run a cycle to confirm proper fill level and that E14 is cleared.
