What to do when E11 shows on the ice makerKind of codeWater supply and fill
The ice maker asked for water and got too little, too slowly or none at all, or water kept arriving after the fill should have ended. A closed shutoff, a kinked line, a clogged filter and low house pressure are ruled out before the water inlet valve is replaced or the fill tube is thawed. If water is on the floor, close the supply valve before reading anything on the display.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from U-Line's own guidance for E11 on its ice makers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the bin and the floor in front of the unit for standing water.
If water is escaping, close the water shutoff valve to the unit.
Check that the drain hose runs as straight as possible without kinks, then book a visit if 11 returns.

What not to do
