Quick answer
Er on a Haier refrigerator means the ice maker system has a fault — the motor, sensor, or ejection mechanism is not working properly.
What Er means
The ice maker in a Haier refrigerator uses a motor to rotate the ice tray and eject cubes into the collection bin. Er appears when the control board detects the ice maker motor has stalled, the tray is jammed, or the ice maker sensor is not responding.
How to fix it
- Check the ice bin. If overfull, ice cubes can jam the ejection mechanism. Empty the bin and try again.
- Check for a stuck ice tray. Sometimes ice fuses to the tray and prevents rotation. Pour a small amount of warm water over the tray to free it.
- Check the water supply. If no water reaches the ice maker (closed tap, frozen fill tube), the tray makes nothing and the motor stalls trying to eject non-existent ice.
- Reset the ice maker. Look for a small reset button on the ice maker module (varies by model). Press and hold for 3-5 seconds.
- If Er persists, the ice maker motor or sensor may need replacement. Call Haier service.
What does the Er code mean?
Er indicates the ice maker system has a fault. The motor, tray, sensor, or ejection mechanism is not functioning correctly.
Common causes
- Ice bin overfull jamming the ejection mechanism
- Ice fused to the tray preventing rotation
- Frozen water fill tube (no water reaching the ice maker)
- Failed ice maker motor
- Ice maker sensor fault
- Water supply turned off

How to fix the Er error
Empty the ice bin
Overfull bin can jam the ejection mechanism.
Free stuck ice
Pour warm water over the tray if ice is fused to it.
Check water supply
Ensure the tap is open and the fill tube is not frozen.
Reset the ice maker
Press the reset button for 3-5 seconds.
Call service if persistent
Motor or sensor may need replacement.
Safety first: Unplug the fridge before working on the ice maker assembly.
Part you may need: Ice maker motor / ice maker sensor / fill tube heater
If the fill tube keeps freezing, the fill tube heater may be faulty (similar to Samsung 33E). Check the heater.
Frequently asked questions
Can I turn off the ice maker to clear Er?
Yes — toggle the ice maker off, wait an hour, then turn it back on. This is a soft reset.
Er but ice maker still makes ice?
The fault may be intermittent. Monitor it — if Er keeps returning, a component is degrading.
