An ice maker error code names the test the control could not pass. On the ice side those tests cover the water: a fill that took too long or never came. They cover the harvest: cubes that did not release, or an ejector that did not return to its start. They cover the sensors on the mold and in the ice compartment, the fan that cools a door ice maker, the dispenser motor and the auger, the drain and the pump on an undercounter unit, and the link between the ice maker and the main board. Some codes are modes, not problems at all: Sabbath, ice off, a lock or a cleaning cycle in progress. Makers use different codes, and the same code can mean different things on two models, so the model number matters as much as the code. The 8 causes, cheapest first Answer these first 01 What does the display show exactly, and could a letter be a digit, such as an I for a 1? 02 Does the code point to the ice maker, or appear with other symptoms like a warm freezer? 03 Does it return after the appliance or the unit has been switched off for a few minutes? 04 Did it appear after a filter change, a cleaning cycle or a power outage? 05 Where is the model number: inside the fresh-food section, on the freezer wall, or behind the kickplate of an undercounter unit? ## Check these before you book. Ice maker error code: 5 checks, and none of them costs anything. 01 Photograph the display or copy the code exactly, including any dots, dashes and the order of letters and digits. 02 If the code comes with water on the floor or a burning smell, close the ice maker's supply valve and keep clear of any wet outlet. 03 Find the model number of the appliance or the undercounter unit before searching for the code. ### Also worth checking - Switch the unit or the ice maker off for a few minutes, back on, and see whether the code returns. - Check whether the code is a mode or a reminder in the manual before treating it as a failure. ### How soon does it need a visit? Most ice maker codes can wait for a visit, and some are only reminders. Treat a code as urgent if it comes with water on the floor, a tripped breaker or a burning smell: close the supply valve, stay clear of any wet outlet and switch the breaker off only from a dry panel. ## The causes, cheapest first. 8 things ice maker error code turns out to be, from a mode or reminder, not a failure to control board or communication code. [The cost guide](https://icemakerrepair.center/cost/) 1. 01 no repair ### A mode or reminder, not a failure Sabbath mode, ice off, a lock, a cleaning cycle or a filter reminder can look like a code. Your model's manual lists each of them and the button that ends it. No repair: check it yourself 2. 02 low to moderate ### Water supply or fill code The fill did not arrive in time. A closed valve, a clogged filter, a frozen fill tube or a valve that does not open are the usual reasons. [Fixed by ice maker water inlet valve repair](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/water-inlet-valve-repair/) [See ice maker fill tube frozen](https://icemakerrepair.center/problems/ice-maker-fill-tube-frozen/) 3. 03 low to moderate ### Ice compartment or mold sensor code A sensor that reads out of range stops the ice maker until it or its wiring is checked. On door models this often comes with frost in the compartment. [Fixed by ice maker control and sensor repair](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/ice-maker-control-and-sensor-repair/) 4. 04 low to moderate ### Dispenser and auger code The auger motor stalled, often on a block of ice, or the dispenser switch is stuck. [Fixed by ice dispenser and auger repair](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/ice-dispenser-and-auger-repair/) [See ice dispenser not working](https://icemakerrepair.center/problems/ice-dispenser-not-working/) 5. 05 moderate ### Harvest code The cubes did not release, or the ejector did not complete its turn. The motor, the mold heater or its sensor is the usual subject. [Fixed by ice maker assembly replacement](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/ice-maker-assembly-replacement/) [See no ice coming from the ice maker](https://icemakerrepair.center/problems/ice-maker-not-making-ice/) 6. 06 moderate ### Ice fan or airflow code The fan that blows cold air to a door ice maker did not turn, often because frost has frozen its blade. [Book a diagnostic visit](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/diagnostic-visit/) [On a door ice maker](https://icemakerrepair.center/types/door-ice-maker-repair/) 7. 07 moderate ### Drain or pump code On an undercounter unit, the drain pump did not empty the reservoir in time, and the unit stopped to keep water off the floor. [Fixed by drain pump and drain line repair](https://icemakerrepair.center/services/drain-pump-and-drain-line-repair/) [On an undercounter ice maker](https://icemakerrepair.center/types/undercounter-ice-maker-repair/) [See undercounter ice maker not draining](https://icemakerrepair.center/problems/undercounter-ice-maker-not-draining/) 8. 08 moderate to highest ### Control board or communication code The ice maker's control and the main board could not talk to each other, or a board reported its own problem.

Do I need a visit? Not necessarily. A short power glitch can leave a code that a restart clears. If the same code returns within days, the part it names is likely failing. ### Why does a code list I found online not match what my panel shows? Lists online mix makes, models and years. The manual for your exact model number is the only list worth trusting. ### Does my freezer ice maker without a display have codes? Many do, through a small light that blinks in a pattern or through a test mode. The manual explains how to read them. ### Is an ice maker code a sign the whole appliance is failing? Usually not. Most ice maker codes are about the ice maker, its water or its dispenser. If the code comes with a warm freezer, tell us, because that points elsewhere. --- **[Read on the site: Ice Maker Error Code: Causes and Fixes](https://icemakerrepair.center/problems/ice-maker-error-code/)** **[Book a visit with IceMakerRepair.center](https://icemakerrepair.center/schedule/)**
