What Ice maker PCB LED: 3 flashes means

Three flashes of the LED on the ice-making board of Fisher & Paykel ActiveSmart ice and water refrigerators in the E522B series, such as the E522BRXFDU and E522BLXU mean the temperature sensor reads too hot. The ice maker uses that sensor to judge when water has frozen, so a too-hot reading can stop harvesting. The LED is on the board at the rear power module and can be seen only from the back of the refrigerator.

Common causes of Ice maker PCB LED: 3 flashes

  • Ice maker temperature sensor reading too hot
  • Freezer not cold enough around the ice maker
  • Sensor or its connection failing
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Check that the freezer door closes fully and the seal is clean. 2. Make sure vents inside the freezer are not blocked by food. 3. Give the freezer a day to reach temperature after any door left open. 4. If the LED still flashes three times, call us. The sensor sits inside the ice maker.

! Why to stop there
  • A hot reading can come from the freezer itself or from the sensor, and we must tell them apart
  • The sensor is built into the ice maker assembly
  • Replacing the sensor without checking freezer temperature may not solve it
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

What does three flashes mean?

The ice maker temperature sensor is reading too hot. The ice maker relies on it to know when ice is ready, so ice making stops.

Is the freezer too warm?

It might be, so check the door seal and vents. If food is frozen hard, the sensor is the more likely cause.

How is it fixed?

We measure freezer temperature and test the sensor, then quote in writing. Repairs carry a 30-day workmanship warranty.
