[ All models ](https://esbosch.djwp.xyz/models/) In more detail ## About Bosch ice maker not making ice ### The fastest diagnosis is the code This is one of only three things Bosch refrigeration publishes a code for, so if there is one on the display it is worth reading. Most of the time there is not, and the useful information is whether it slowed down or stopped. ### Slow comes before stopped An ice maker almost never fails overnight. A full bin becomes a half bin over several weeks, and by the time it is empty the cause has been there a while. Every one of the cheap causes — filter, air, pressure — is easier to fix and cheaper to diagnose while the machine is still working badly rather than not at all. ### The fast ice makers The upper series produce a great deal of ice quickly, which means they ask more of everything upstream of them and they are a more expensive assembly to replace. Both are arguments for diagnosing this properly instead of ordering a module.
