What E1-E8 means

On Liebherr IceMaker setup screens, as on the HC 2090G and the WF1061, the codes E1 through E8 are a setting rather than an alert. They choose how much water fills the ice cube tray: E1 is the shortest supply time and E8 the longest. Seeing one of these in setup mode simply shows the level currently selected, and nothing needs repair.

Common causes of E1-E8

  • Setup mode open with the current water quantity displayed
  • A level changed during setup and left at an unwanted value
  • Ice cubes too small or too large for your taste
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Open setup mode and find the IceMaker water quantity item. 2. If cubes come out too small, step toward E8; if the tray overfills, step toward E1. 3. Leave setup mode and wait for a few trays to judge the result. 4. If no ice forms at all, check the water shut-off valve and call us if it is open.

! Why to stop there
  • Adjusting the level is a menu setting, so a visit is unnecessary.
  • Ice that does not form at any level points to a water supply or ice maker problem for a technician.
  • Our visits come with a written price and a 30-day warranty.
Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

E1-E8E1-E8 questions
What do E1 to E8 mean on my HC 2090G?

They are the water quantity levels for the ice cube tray. E1 gives the shortest supply time and E8 the longest. They are settings in setup mode, not alarms.

Which level should I pick?

Start in the middle. If cubes are too thin or small, move up toward E8 for more water. If the tray overfills, go down toward E1. Check after a few batches.

Does an E code mean the ice maker is broken?

No. These E values describe the fill time you chose. An actual ice maker problem shows as a flashing IceMaker LED or an ice maker alarm instead, which is a different thing.
