Electrolux Ice Maker Error Code Er

The Er code indicates that the bail arm switch failed its diagnostic test during test 58C. The bail arm switch is responsible for detecting when the ice bin is full and stopping ice production. One or both of the required switch positions were not confirmed during the test. This points to a problem with the bail arm mechanism or the switch itself within the ice maker assembly.

The Er code indicates the ice level detection system is not functioning reliably, which means the ice maker may not know when to stop production. Running the unit in this condition risks ice overflow into the freezer compartment. It is best to stop ice maker operation until the fault is diagnosed and repaired.

A reset may temporarily clear the Er code from the display, but it will not resolve the underlying hardware fault with the bail arm switch. The code is likely to return once the ice maker runs through its next cycle and the diagnostic conditions are not met again. A proper repair requires running tests 63C and 58C and addressing the root cause identified by those tests.

Some basic checks are possible without tools, such as inspecting the bail arm for ice buildup or physical damage that could prevent it from moving freely. However, the full diagnosis requires running tests 63C and 58C using the machine's diagnostic mode, which is best suited for technicians familiar with the procedure. If both tests confirm the ice maker assembly is at fault, replacing the assembly (243297603) is the required repair. Attempting assembly replacement without completing the diagnostic sequence may result in replacing a part that was not actually defective.

If the repair requires replacing the ice maker assembly, parts typically range from around 80 dollars to 150 dollars depending on the supplier, with professional labor adding another 75 to 150 dollars in most cases. If the issue is only a wiring or connector problem identified during test 63C, the repair cost could be lower. Getting a diagnosis first helps avoid paying for parts that are not needed.
