Error Code E It
Ice Maker Kit Defect — abnormality of ice maker such as motor, gear, or Hall IC; triggered when test switch is pressed within 1 week of detecting ice twisting
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: E It
How to Fix
- 1
Step 1: Remove ice bin and visually inspect ice maker for jammed ice, damaged gears, or obstructions.
- 2
Step 2: Press the ice maker test switch (hold >0.5 seconds) to initiate a test cycle. Listen for the ice ejection motor operation and buzzer sound. If buzzer does not sound, the ice maker unit is faulty.
- 3
Step 3: Check Hall IC signal: if no change in Hall IC signal within 1 minute of ice ejection motor running, the motor or Hall IC is out of order.
- 4
Step 4: Check ice maker motor resistance and wiring harness connections.
- 5
Step 5: If ice maker test fails consistently, replace the ice maker unit.
- 6
Step 6: If ice maker tests pass but error persists, replace Main PCB.
