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.

Jump to your symptom: 01 · Water reservoir remains dry or no water circulates02 · Water flows but refrigeration never cools03 · Compressor runs but still no ice despite clear ventilation and water
01
Water reservoir remains dry or no water circulates
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Turn supply tap fully on, verify inlet hose not kinked, clean inlet strainer and pump pickup, prime the documented water route without running pump dry.
How to tell it is fixed: Water circulates over evaporator continuously.
02
Water flows but refrigeration never cools
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Clear condenser airflow and dust, confirm fan spins without obstruction.
- Allow startup delay and observe whether compressor actually starts.
How to tell it is fixed: Evaporator begins freezing under suitable ambient conditions.
03
Compressor runs but still no ice despite clear ventilation and water
HOW TO CHECK & CORRECT THIS CAUSE
- Licensed technician diagnoses refrigeration leak, charge, capillary restriction or compressor.
- Never add refrigerant without leak diagnosis.
How to tell it is fixed: Normal ice production after complete certified repair.
