Error codeICE flashing
ApplianceIce Maker
Quick answer
ICE flashing on the DCS RF15I outdoor ice maker points to a failed condenser temperature sensor; the machine keeps running.
Model compatibility: DCS reuses codes across series and model years, so ICE flashing may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
System sensor error: failed condenser temperature sensor; no audible alarm. Machine keeps running but does not adapt to ambient conditions.
If the word ICE blinks continuously in the display of your DCS RF15I outdoor ice maker, that is a system sensor error. No audible alarm sounds.
Meaning
The condenser temperature sensor has failed. The machine keeps operating, but the ice production cycle will not adapt to varying ambient conditions, so ice quality may vary.
Recommended step
Call service to have the temperature sensor replaced.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
