Question:

What does Error Code 116 b6E or 116 b6C mean on my ice maker? How can I fix it?

 

Answer:

Error Code 116 b6E or 116 b6C indicates issues with your ice maker's sensors. For a twin ice maker in the freezer, this error code specifically refers to the right side one.

 

Error Explanation:

"Bite" refers to the action of the ice maker when it senses that there is enough ice cubes to break them off into the dispenser bin.

"Ice Maker Sensor" detects the temperature and conditions needed for proper ice production.

When the sensor suspects temperatures below -50 degrees C, it is considered an open sensor issue.

On the other hand, if the sensor suspects temperatures above 50 degrees C, it is considered a short sensor issue.

 

Reason/Solution:

To resolve the issue, check the sensors and make sure they are working correctly within their respective temperature ranges.

For an open sensor, replace the sensor if necessary or adjust its position to ensure accurate readings.

For a short sensor, clean the sensor contacts and ensure there is no obstruction causing incorrect readings.
