What E7 means

On the Electrolux ICON and IQ under-counter ice makers, such as the EI15IM55GS, E15IM60GSS and E15IM60GPS, E7 refers to thermistor 2. The control found that second temperature sensor either open, like a broken wire, or shorted, like wires touching. The code lives in the service menu, so the owner sees ER on the display, and the unit stops making ice. Thermistor 2 is a different sensor from the one behind E1 and E2.

Common causes of E7

Thermistor 2
Thermistor 2 wire or connector
Board input for thermistor 2

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Confirm the display shows ER and the unit has stopped making ice. 2. Check that the unit is plugged in and the door is closed. 3. Make sure nothing, such as a scoop or ice, is wedged against the door. 4. Do not open the cabinet or touch the wires, then call us and mention ER.

! Why to stop there

Open or shorted can come from the sensor, a wire or a connector, and the code does not say which, so we test each.
We read the error log for other sensor codes.
We give a written price before work, and the repair has a 30-day warranty.

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.

E7E7 questions

Why does E7 cover both open and shorted?

Both mean the control cannot read thermistor 2 at all. We tell them apart by testing the sensor and its wiring, and that tells us what needs repair.

Is thermistor 2 the same as thermistor 1?

No. Each sensor has its own codes, and E7 belongs to thermistor 2, while E1 and E2 belong to thermistor 1. The number tells us which circuit to test first.

Will the unit make ice meanwhile?

Not while the sensor circuit is out. The unit stops all functions to protect itself, and it will not return to normal until the sensor problem is repaired.
