Hoshizaki Error Codes Guide
Hoshizaki error codes are diagnostic alerts used by ice machines and commercial refrigerators to identify system problems. These codes can indicate sensor failures, water supply issues, airflow restrictions, defrost problems, or control board faults. This guide explains the most common Hoshizaki error codes, what they mean, and how to diagnose the underlying cause so you can restore proper operation quickly and avoid costly downtime.
What Are Hoshizaki Error Codes?
Hoshizaki error codes are displayed by the control board when abnormal operating conditions are detected.
Most Common Hoshizaki Error Codes
| Error Code | Meaning | Likely Cause | Parts to Check |
|---|---|---|---|
| E1 | Thermistor error | Temperature sensor failure | Thermistor |
| E2 | High temperature alarm | Dirty condenser | Condenser fan |
| E3 | Evaporator fan error | Fan not running | Fan motor |
| E4 | Water supply error | Low water pressure | Water inlet valve |
| E5 | Drain error | Blocked drain line | Drain pump |
| E6 | Control board error | Electrical fault | Main PCB |
