What E02
actually means.
The dispenser watches its compressor temperature. When airflow is poor, the filter is dirty, the fan is not running or the room is too warm, the compressor overheats and the board shows E02. Blue Air specifically calls out a dirty condenser that needs its filter cleaned.

What to do when E02 shows on the ice machineKind of codeCondenser and airflow
The machine could not shed its heat. An air filter packed with lint, a condenser coil furred with grease and dust, a fan motor that no longer spins, a machine pushed into a hot corner without its clearance, a water-cooled condenser whose regulating valve starves it, or a remote condenser on a roof blocked by leaves all show up here. Washing the air filter and freeing the space around the machine clears many cases; a fan motor or a valve means a visit.
Usually leads toIce machine condenser and fan repair
Air-cooled coils, fan motors and filters, water-cooled regulating valves and rooftop remote condensers, cleaned or repaired so the ice machine can shed its heat.

An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Blue Air's own guidance for E02 on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Pull out and rinse the air filter; Blue Air asks for this every two weeks.
Leave at least 6 inches of space at the back, sides and top of the dispenser.
Move heat sources such as coffee brewers away from the air intake.
If E02 comes back with a clean filter, book a visit to check the fan motor.

What not to do
E02 is not a water problem and not a stuck auger. It is also not E06, which is the temperature sensor itself failing.

A booking with a code goes further when it carries the light or code copied as it appeared, the model and serial off the data plate, and a word on whether cubes still fall into the bin. With those three in hand, our office can match the probable part to your machine the same afternoon.
