Bosch Refrigerator Error Code 1-1-3

Error code 1-1-3 means the ice maker's ice production cycle was interrupted because the ice tray failed to complete its rotation. The refrigerator detected that the tray did not rotate within the expected time and stopped the cycle to prevent motor damage. This fault is specific to the ice maker's mechanical drive system, including the tray, motor, and gear assembly.

Yes, the refrigerator's cooling and food storage functions are not affected by this error. The 1-1-3 code is isolated to the ice maker system, and the appliance will continue to cool normally. You can leave the ice maker disabled until the fault is diagnosed and resolved without any risk to stored food.

If the fix is simply clearing an ice jam or defrosting a blockage, there may be no parts cost at all. If the drive gear needs replacement, parts typically range from around $10 to $40. A full ice maker motor or ice maker module replacement can range from $50 to $150 or more for parts, with additional labor costs if a technician is needed.

Start by running the ice maker self-test and watching whether the tray rotates. If it does not move, check for ice buildup, jammed cubes, or any foreign object blocking the tray compartment. Clear any obstruction and defrost the area if needed. If the tray still does not rotate after clearing blockages, the drive gear or tray motor may need to be replaced.

A reset may temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying cause, such as a blockage or a failed motor, has not been corrected, the error will return once the ice maker attempts another production cycle. It is best to diagnose and resolve the mechanical issue before relying on a reset to clear the fault.
