Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator and turn off the ice maker (switch or control setting) before working on it.
Clear jams:
- Remove the ice bin and inspect the ice maker for stuck or oversized cubes.
- Gently remove any jammed ice with a plastic utensil; do not use metal tools that can damage the mold.
Reset the ice maker:
- Some Blomberg models have a test or reset button on the ice maker module. Press and hold as specified in the user manual to initiate a test cycle.
- Restore power and observe if the ice maker completes a full cycle without error.
Inspect wiring:
- Check the harness between the ice maker and the cabinet for loose connections or damage.
Note: If EA returns after clearing jams and resetting, the ice maker assembly or its motor is likely defective and should be replaced as a complete unit.
