Display shows EA and the ice maker or ice compartment does not function correctly (on models with ice maker).

Safety first: Disconnect power and turn off the water supply to the refrigerator before working on the ice maker.

Quick checks:

• Remove the ice bin and check for clumped or jammed ice blocking the ejector blades. Discard old ice and clear jams by hand (do not use sharp tools).
• Ensure the ice maker arm or on/off switch is in the ON position.

Module inspection:

• Remove the ice maker cover to access the module.
• Inspect wiring and connectors for corrosion or damage.
• Check that the ice maker can rotate freely by gently turning the gear (if accessible). If seized, the motor/module may need replacement.
• On models with a separate ice compartment sensor, test the sensor resistance and replace if out of range.

After service: Reassemble, restore power and water, and allow 24 hours for ice production. If EA persists, the ice maker assembly or control board may require replacement by a technician.
