Electrolux Refrigerator Error Code E6: Meaning and Fix

Reading the refrigerator display
On a refrigerator the code shows on the control panel or dispenser display. Some models flash a letter or alternate two characters; hold the code in view and note both. Electrolux uses the same E, F and i prefixes as Frigidaire.
Electrolux builds the platforms behind both its own line and Frigidaire, so its codes line up closely with Frigidaire ones. Look for E codes on laundry, F codes on ranges and i codes on dishwashers. The codes apply to model numbers such as EIDW5905JS, EDSH4944AS and EFME527UIW; check the label on your unit to confirm yours.

Questions
What does the E6 code mean on a Electrolux refrigerator?
The ice maker module is not completing its harvest cycle.
Can I fix the E6 code myself?
Often yes. The most likely repair is the ice maker, a part most owners can swap with basic hand tools after unplugging the appliance, and it is usually quicker than a service visit.
How do I clear the E6 code?
Unplug the refrigerator for five minutes (or switch off its breaker), then plug it in and watch the display. If E6 comes back, the underlying fault is still there; start with this: frozen or jammed ice mold.
