What drn Err
actually means.
On True's 15-inch clear ice models, drn alternating with Err is the drain time alarm: the drain did not clear within 5 minutes of the pump running. True points to a clogged or kinked drain line or a failed drain pump, and the control shuts off the water supply and cuts power to the unit while the alarm stands.

What to do when drn Err shows on the ice makerKind of codeDrain and pump
An undercounter ice maker could not get rid of its meltwater or its rinse water: the drain pump did not run, its float stuck, or the drain line is blocked, kinked or frozen. Water backing up inside can spill onto the floor, so the water supply is closed before anything else, then the line and the pump are cleared or replaced.

The drain that carries meltwater and unused water out of a built-in ice maker, whether by gravity or with a small pump, cleared, re-routed or given a new pump when water stands in the bin or spills out of the door.

An undercounter ice maker not draining leaves standing water in the bottom of the bin, turns cubes into a slushy layer, smells musty, or shows a drain light.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from True Residential's own guidance for drn Err on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Look for water in the bin and on the floor and wipe it up; keep clear of the outlet if water has reached it.
Follow the drain hose from the back of the unit and straighten any kink or low loop, and check that the drain it empties into is not blocked.
If drn Err returns after the line is clear, book a visit to test the drain pump.

What not to do
drn Err is not a water supply problem. Water got in; the drain pump could not get it out in time.
