Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing the ice maker or accessing wiring.
Steps:
- Remove the ice bucket and access the ice maker assembly.
- Locate the thermistor (often embedded in the ice maker housing or attached to the ice compartment wall).
- Inspect for broken wires or loose connectors.
- Test the thermistor resistance at room temperature and compare to specifications.
Corrective action: Replace the ice maker thermistor or the complete ice maker assembly if the sensor is not serviceable separately. If the sensor and wiring are good but E6 persists, the main control board may need replacement.
