Low Medium High

Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom

DF Defrost cycle fault Medium Looking through the air vents or opening the unit reveals the evaporator coated in a thick layer of white frost or solid ice, far beyond the normal light frost. View HI High temperature alarm Medium The digital panel shows HI instead of a numeric temperature, indicating the sensor reading has exceeded the displayable or safe range for the ice compartment. View IM Harvest mechanism fault Medium The freezing cycle may complete but cubes are not released from the mold, so the bin slowly empties as existing ice is used without being replenished. View LO Low temperature alarm Low The control panel displays LO instead of a numeric value, indicating the internal temperature sensor is reading below the minimum threshold. View PF Power failure alert Low The control panel shows PF upon power-up, informing you that the unit detected a power interruption and wants manual acknowledgment before resuming normal display. View SA Bin full / shutoff fault Low The unit halts all freeze and harvest cycles because the control board believes the storage bin is full, even though it may be partially empty. View
