Possible Causes
Defective ice room NTC sensor, Loose or corroded sensor connector, Damaged harness in ice maker door or wall, Faulty main control board sensor channel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before working in the ice maker area.
- Locate ice room sensor: In Cecotec models with an internal ice room, the sensor is usually behind a small cover near the ice maker or in the ice storage compartment.
- Inspect sensor and wiring: Remove the cover and check for moisture damage, broken wires, or loose connectors.
- Dry and reseat: If condensation is present, gently dry the area and reseat the connector. Ensure the sensor is firmly clipped in place.
- Replace sensor if faulty: If the sensor is physically damaged or tests open/short with a multimeter, replace it with a Cecotec-compatible ice room NTC sensor.
- Test operation: Restore power and allow the unit to run for several hours. Confirm that E5 clears and the ice maker resumes normal operation.
