Question:

What does Error Code 26E or 26C mean on my freezer's ice maker? How can I fix this issue?

Answer:

Error Code 26E or 26C indicates an issue with the ice maker function in your freezer. This error code specifically refers to the cubed ice maker (for twin ice maker styles, left side). To resolve this issue, check for ejection restoration failures (more than 3 times) or horizontal lever positioning errors.
