Possible Causes
Blocked condenser coil, Failed condenser fan, Ambient temperature too high, Faulty high-limit thermostat
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Allow the unit to cool and disconnect power before servicing.
- Clean condenser: Pull the Zanussi ice maker away from the wall. Vacuum and brush the condenser coil thoroughly to restore airflow.
- Check ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit as specified in the manual. Do not enclose the ice maker in a tight cabinet without ventilation.
- Verify condenser fan: Confirm that the condenser fan runs whenever the compressor is on. If not, see the condenser fan fault procedure and repair as needed.
- Reset thermostat: Some models use a manual-reset high-limit thermostat. Locate it near the compressor or condenser and press the reset button if present.
- Replace thermostat if faulty: If the thermostat does not reset or tests open at normal temperature, replace it with a Zanussi-approved part.
- Test operation: Restore power and monitor operation. If E15 recurs, further diagnosis of the sealed system and airflow is required by a technician.
