Standard Icemaker Error Codes

In Door ICE MAKER KIT ERROR

Cause

      Ice maker in door is defective  or has no voltage to the ice maker

Solution

  Check wiring and connections to ice maker. Check voltage to the ice maker.

Cause

      Ice maker may be jammed with ice chips.

Solution

  Thaw the ice maker and test again.

Cause

     Heated mold style may have a  defective heater.

Solution

  Check resistance of heater and voltage to heater.

In door Ice Maker, from Display board in left door

Example from LMXS30776: Check for 12Vdc at Motor pins on Connector 102, BROWN and GRAY/RED after test button is pressed. If voltage is there check for 12Vdc at the Icemaker, (its possible there’s a wiring issue inside the door). 

If no voltage to the Ice maker motor from PCB when test button is pressed, check the test button for voltage WHITE/RED to BROWN, 5Vdc circuit voltage should go away when test button is pressed, if no 5Vdc replace Display PCB, if voltage is there and doesn’t go away check Ice maker wiring in door to confirm, if good replace Icemaker.

Ice Sensor Error

Cause

If “IS” is displayed The Main PCB is not getting a signal from an icemaker sensor.

Solution

For Single icemaker units with a freezer icemaker only it will be the icemaker sensor in the freezer section.

For Dual icemaker units this error will be for one of the sensors in the left door. Check the ice room sensor and the icemaker sensor.

Remember an ERROR CODE will only appear if the board the sensor connects to detects 0 or 5 VDC.

FREEZER ICE MAKER ERROR CODE

Cause

Ice maker in freezer is defective or has no voltage to the ice maker

Solution

Check wiring and connections to freezer ice maker.

Check voltage to the ice maker. 

Cause

Ice maker may be jammed with ice chips.

Solution

Thaw the ice maker and test again.

Cause

Heated mold style may have a defective heater.

Solution

Check resistance of heater and voltage to heater.

FREEZER ICE MAKER CHECKS

Check for 12Vdc to Freezer ice maker tray motor. 

Also check for 18Ω on the ice maker motor.

IN-FREEZER ICE MAKER ICING SENSOR

Cause

The Main PCB is not getting a signal from the Freezer Icing Sensor.

Solution

Check the wiring at the sensor, and Main PCB.

Remember an ERROR CODE will only appear if –  0 or 5Vdc is detected at the Main PCB.
