Ice maker not producing ice, E06 or ice symbol flashing

Safety first: Turn off the ice maker and unplug the refrigerator before working on the ice maker assembly.

Basic checks:

• Verify water supply: Ensure the water valve to the fridge is fully open and the supply line is not kinked.
• Check ice bin and arm: Make sure the ice bin is seated correctly and that any ice level arm or optical sensor is not blocked by ice or packaging.
• Inspect for jams: Remove the ice bin. Look inside the ice maker for clumped or stuck ice. Gently clear any obstructions with a plastic utensil.
• Reset ice maker: Many Bosch models have a reset button or require holding the ice button for several seconds. Follow the user manual to initiate a test cycle.
• Observe operation: After restoring power, watch for the ice maker to rotate and fill. If the motor hums but does not move, or does nothing at all, the motor or sensor may be faulty.

Advanced: If comfortable, remove the ice maker assembly (usually a few screws and a wiring plug) and inspect the harness and connector for corrosion or damage. Replace the ice maker assembly if the motor or internal sensor has failed.
