Bosch Refrigerator Error Code 1-1-4

Error code 1-1-4 indicates a fault with the ice maker, specifically identifying the ice tray heater or the ice maker's internal electronics as faulty. The ice tray heater releases formed ice during harvest cycles, and the electronics manage all ice maker functions. Because these components are not serviceable individually, the entire ice maker assembly must be replaced to resolve this code.

A power reset may temporarily clear the displayed code, but if the ice tray heater or internal electronics have actually failed, the fault will return once the ice maker attempts its next cycle. A reset is not a repair and should only be used to confirm whether the fault is persistent. If code 1-1-4 returns after a reset, ice maker replacement is required.

The cost depends on whether you hire a technician or perform the replacement yourself. A replacement ice maker assembly for a Bosch refrigerator typically ranges from $80 to $200 depending on the model. Professional repair labor can add $100 to $250 on top of the parts cost, bringing total repair costs to a range of roughly $180 to $450 in most cases.

The heater and electronics inside the ice maker are not available as separate replacement parts and cannot be repaired individually. The only supported fix is replacing the complete ice maker assembly. Before ordering a replacement, check that the wiring harness connector at the ice maker is fully seated and free of corrosion, as a loose connection can sometimes trigger this code.

The refrigerator's cooling and food preservation functions are separate from the ice maker and should continue operating normally with this fault present. The ice maker will not produce ice while this code is active, but there is no safety risk to stored food. You can continue using the refrigerator while scheduling the ice maker repair.
