Bosch Refrigerator Error Code 1-1-2

Error code 1-1-2 means the ice maker's ice production cycle was interrupted because the ice tray failed to complete its rotation. The ice maker uses a motor-driven tray to eject finished cubes, and when that rotation does not occur as expected, the system logs this fault and pauses ice production. The error can stem from a physical ice blockage, a failed drive motor, stripped gears, or a damaged tray.

A reset may temporarily clear the code, but it will return if the underlying cause is not resolved. If a chunk of ice was causing the blockage and has since melted or been removed, a reset could fully resolve the issue. For mechanical failures like a bad motor or stripped gears, the code will reappear as soon as the next ice cycle runs.

Repair costs vary depending on the failed component. If only a physical ice blockage needs to be cleared, there may be no parts cost at all. Replacing a drive motor or gear assembly typically ranges from $75 to $200 in parts, plus labor if a technician is involved. A full ice maker module replacement can run higher, generally in the range of $150 to $350 or more depending on the specific model.

Start by running the ice maker self-test and watching whether the tray rotates at all. If the tray is blocked by clumped ice, unplug the refrigerator, clear the obstruction, and restart the ice maker. If the tray does not move despite no visible blockage, the drive motor or gear assembly likely needs replacement. A qualified technician should handle motor or module replacement.

This code does not represent a safety hazard. It is isolated to the ice maker system and does not affect the refrigerator or freezer compartment temperatures. You can continue using the refrigerator normally while the ice maker issue is being diagnosed or repaired. The ice maker simply will not produce ice until the fault is corrected.
