Frigidaire Ice Maker Error Code 2 blinks

Two blinks on a Frigidaire ice maker indicates a bin thermistor fault. The control board has detected a temperature reading from the bin thermistor that falls outside the valid range of 25 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. As a result, all loads are shut off and the unit will not produce ice until the fault is corrected.

The machine will not operate while the 2 blinks fault is active, so there is no risk of it producing ice under faulty conditions. The lockout is intentional and the unit is safe to leave powered while you diagnose the problem. Do not attempt to bypass the fault to force operation.

A power reset may temporarily clear the error display, but if the underlying fault with the bin thermistor or its wiring is still present, the code will return as soon as the control board runs its diagnostics again. The error will only be permanently cleared once the defective component is repaired or replaced and the thermistor is reading within the valid 25-140°F range.

Some causes of this error are DIY-friendly. You can inspect the thermistor wiring harness for damage, check that all connectors are fully seated, and verify the thermistor is properly mounted in the bin. If you have a multimeter, you can measure the thermistor resistance and compare it to the temperature-resistance table to confirm whether the sensor has failed. Replacing a bin thermistor is a straightforward repair for someone comfortable working with appliances.

If the bin thermistor itself has failed, the part typically costs somewhere in the range of $15 to $50 depending on the model, making it one of the lower-cost repairs on an ice maker. If the issue is a wiring problem or loose connector, the repair cost may only involve a service call fee. A control board replacement, if needed, is considerably more expensive, often ranging from $100 to $250 or more for parts alone.
