Error Code ICE_MAKER_FUNCTION_ERROR
Ice maker is not producing ice due to a mechanical failure
Moderate
Address soon - your appliance may not work properly
Also displayed as: C39 referenced in self-diagnosis text
What This Means
Failed ice maker kit; Bad wiring to ice maker motor; Main PCB signal failure at IC01 pin 90 (test switch) or pin 21 (motor load); Water valve failure — no water supply to tray
What actually causes this:
The ice maker mechanism in the fridge compartment has stopped working — the motor, heater, or sensor within the unit has failed.
First Thing to Check
Check that the ice maker arm is in the down position (not raised to 'off') and that ice maker mode is turned on in the display panel.
Parts Involved
How to Fix
- 1
Press ice maker test switch for over 1.5 seconds — ice maker should rotate
- 2
Check MICOM IC01 pin 90; standby = 5V, test switch pressed = 0V
- 3
Check MICOM IC01 pin 21 (motor load); standby = 0V, motor running = 5V
- 4
Check MICOM IC01 pin 22 (blade ice scoop); should change 0V → 4.9V → 4.9V → 0V through cycle
- 5
Verify water fills tray within 6 minutes of cycle completion
- 6
Replace ice maker kit if motor/switch functions verify as failed
- 7
Check water valve if no water fills
