How to Fix 76E Error

This is an alias for the 76C error, meaning water has been detected in the AutoFill pitcher compartment.
Remove the AutoFill pitcher.
Completely dry the inside of the pitcher’s housing with a towel.
Ensure the pitcher is not damaged and is seated correctly when you put it back. The error will clear once the sensor detects the area is dry.

If the replacement part didn’t fix the issue, you may have a wiring problem or main board failure.
