Blue Air E7: the ice machine control board reports an internal error

What E7
actually means.
On BLMI heads, E7 is the code the board uses for itself: Blue Air calls it a PCB error and gives a PCB program error as the cause. Nothing in the water or cooling system is involved.

What to do when E7 shows on the ice machineKind of codeControl board and power
The board lost track of itself or of its power: a voltage too low or too high at startup, a relay that no longer closes, a keypad or display that stays dark, or a memory error after a surge. Switching off at the machine's own switch for a minute clears a passing glitch. A code that returns, a breaker that trips, or any hot or burning smell means the power stays off and the board, the wiring and the relays are left to a technician.

The controller, its display, the sensors it reads and their wiring, tested when a code, a blinking light or a dead machine points there.
Shows up asIce Machine Error Code or Flashing Light: What It Is Telling You
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.
MakeBlue Air
Blue Air ice machine calls start by reading the controls and looking at the evaporator for scale that slows the freeze.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Blue Air's own guidance for E7 on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the machine off at its switch, wait a minute, and turn it back on.
If power in the building has been flickering, mention it at booking.
If E7 returns, book a visit to check and, if needed, replace the control board.

What not to do
E7 is not a sensor code; sensors show as E3 and E6. It also does not mean the ice in the bin is affected.

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.
