Possible Causes

Failed ice maker water inlet valve, Clogged water filter restricting flow, Kinked or frozen water supply line, Ice maker fill sensor failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Turn off power and shut off the household water supply to the refrigerator before servicing.

This code indicates a problem with water flow to the ice maker.

  • Check water filter: If the filter is older than 6 months or water flow is weak, replace the Dacor-approved water filter.
  • Inspect water line: Verify the line at the back of the refrigerator is not kinked. In some models, the line in the door can freeze; check for ice blockage by feeling for hard, frozen sections.
  • Test valve: Listen for the valve when the ice maker calls for water. If you do not hear it and ER 26 persists, the valve may be defective.
  • Replace inlet valve: Access the valve at the rear bottom of the unit and replace it if it fails continuity or mechanical tests.
