Possible Causes
Corrupted EEPROM on main PCB, Power surge damage to control electronics, Manufacturing defect in control firmware, Loose control board connectors causing intermittent resets
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before touching the control board.
Actions:
- 1. Hard reset: Unplug the freezer for at least 15 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge. Reconnect and attempt to set the temperature again.
- 2. Check power quality: Ensure the freezer is connected directly to a wall outlet, not a low-quality extension lead. Voltage drops and surges can corrupt memory.
- 3. Inspect main PCB: Remove the rear lower panel and locate the main control board. Check for burnt components, swollen capacitors, or insect damage. Reseat all connectors.
- 4. Surge protection: If E10 occurs after storms or power cuts, consider using a surge-protected outlet once the board is replaced.
- 5. Replace main PCB: If E10 persists and the freezer otherwise powers on, the main control board likely needs replacement with a genuine "Amica Main Control Board" programmed for your model.
Note: Board replacement may require transferring configuration jumpers or dip-switch settings; follow the service manual or use a professional.
