E20
E20 displayed, internal communication error between main control board and sensor module.
Internal Communication Bus Fault
Symptom
Control buttons are hard to press or stick, sometimes causing unintended selections.
Worn or Contaminated Keypad
Symptom
Ice cubes appear cloudy or white instead of clear.
Air Entrapment / Mineral Content in Ice
Symptom
Ice cubes have a bad taste or odor, even though the ice maker is functioning normally.
Contaminated Water Path / Odor Transfer
Symptom
Ice maker cabinet or door (if fitted) sweats or forms condensation on the exterior surfaces.
Condensation / Insulation or Gasket Issue
Symptom
Ice maker cycles water but ice does not release from the evaporator plate, forming a solid block.
Harvest Assist / Defrost Failure
Symptom
Ice maker display is dim, flickering, or segments are missing, but unit still makes ice.
Display / LED Module Degradation
Symptom
Ice maker does not produce any ice, but powers on and appears to run normally (no error code displayed).
No Ice Production Without Error Code
Symptom
Ice maker emits a burning smell or hot plastic odor during operation.
Overheating Electrical Component
Symptom
Ice maker interior or ice bin has visible mold, slime, or heavy scale deposits.
Lack of Sanitation / Heavy Scale Buildup
Symptom
Ice maker is very noisy during operation, with rattling, buzzing, or grinding sounds.
Mechanical Noise / Vibration Fault
Symptom
Ice maker produces ice, but cubes are oversized, fused together, or jam in the bin.
Overfreezing / Excessive Ice Thickness
Symptom
Ice maker produces ice, but cubes are very small, thin, or hollow.
Insufficient Water Fill / Thin Ice Production
Symptom
Ice maker runs continuously without cycling off, ice bin overfills or ice becomes very hard and frosted.
Defective Bin Full Control / Continuous Run
Symptom
Ice maker starts a cycle but shuts off after a few minutes without making ice, no error code shown.
Thermal Protection / Power Interruption Issue
Symptom
Ice maker will not start at all, but interior light (if fitted) works and display is on.
Control Lockout / Bin Full Logic Fault
Symptom
Water leaking from the front or bottom of the Zanussi ice maker onto the floor.
External Water Leak
Symptom
Water pooling inside the ice bin or under the evaporator, ice appears wet and partially melted.
Poor Drainage / Meltwater Management Fault
