At a glance

Code F383
What it means The ice cube maker water inlet is faulty.
What you can check Work through the causes in turn: straighten a kinked water inlet hose, clean the inlet filter, refit the container, and check the float switch by shaking the water container. For a software fault, keep the freezer at -18 °C for at least 48 hours.
When to call a technician If the fault stays after these checks, call for a service visit. If there is no magnet behind the holder on the left door handle, a technician is needed too.

Cause and remedy

  • Kinked hose (if present): straighten the fresh water inlet hose.
  • Soiled filter: clean the inlet filter.
  • Container not fitted correctly (if present): take it out, wipe the surface beneath it, then slide it along the guide rail until it stops.
  • Stuck float switch: shake the water container and watch for movement; a jammed switch means cleaning the container and removing the blockage.
  • Software fault: keep the freezer temperature at -18 °C for a minimum of 48 hours.
  • Magnet problem: push the ice cube maker drawer into the upper freezer compartment and look behind the holder on the left door handle. No magnet there means contacting Customer Service.

Codes to compare

  • F2: technical fault with no owner remedy.
  • F384 and F385: crashed software, handled by disconnecting power.
