Error Code ICE_MAKER_SENSOR

Ice maker temperature sensor malfunction or disconnection

Critical

Stop using immediately - risk of damage or safety issue

Also displayed as: ICE Maker Sensor Error

What This Means

Bad connector contact at CN90; Sensor resistance out of range; Open circuit (infinite resistance); Short circuit (zero resistance); Water infiltration on sensor or connector

What actually causes this:

The temperature sensor in the ice maker mold lost electrical contact, got wet, or the sensor itself failed. This prevents the refrigerator from knowing when ice is frozen and ready.

First Thing to Check

Verify the connector at CN90 is fully seated and check for water damage around the connection

Parts Involved

ICE Maker SensorMAIN PCB CN90 connectorR904 resistor

How to Fix

  1. 1

    Check CN90 connector insertion at MAIN PCB

  2. 2

    Measure voltage between CN90 pins 11 and 13

  3. 3

    Measure resistance between CN90 pins 11 and 13

  4. 4

    Check for ice buildup or solder damage on PCB

  5. 5

    Verify sensor resistance against temperature table
