How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power and shut off water supply before servicing the ice maker.

Steps:

  • Remove the ice bucket and inspect for jammed or clumped ice.
  • Check the ice maker mold for broken parts or heavy scale.
  • Verify the ice maker harness is fully connected.
  • Reset the ice maker if your model has a reset button or test mode.

Corrective action: Clear jams and restore power. If F6 returns, replace the ice maker assembly. If a new ice maker does not resolve the error, the main control board may be defective.
