Safety first: Turn off and disconnect power before accessing the fan, pump, wiring or panels; shut off water for hose or inlet work. Refrigerant/compressor service requires certified refrigeration personnel.
Confirm exact model and variant
VEVOR CIM-360T with the E1/E2/E3/E5 table in the corresponding manual. Confirm the exact controller and machine-label revision before applying any code or service instruction.
Version check: Match the ice-maker controller revision before assuming an E-code has the same meaning across batches.

01
E5 reports ice-full switch fault on documented revision
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Remove excessive accumulated ice and clean debris from ice-full sensing mechanism with power disconnected.
- Check sensor arm moves freely and returns to its normal position.
How to tell it is fixed: Unit correctly stops when bin full and restarts when bin emptied, no E5.
02
E5 on empty bin with arm free
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Inspect plug/harness and replace specific failed ice-full switch/sensor by matched service, not random control PCB.
How to tell it is fixed: Switch toggles correctly during physical actuation and E5 stays absent.

The fault definitions, named controls and any published specifications follow the linked documentation. Ordered isolation tests are conservative explanatory procedures, not a claim that all checks are verbatim factory service instructions. If the stated manual does not establish a measurement or part compatibility, this guide deliberately does not invent it.
