E7
E7 displayed and the freezer may not respond to temperature changes or may shut down unexpectedly.
Main Control PCB Fault
E8
E8 error and the freezer may not defrost properly, with ice building up around the evaporator fan area.
Defrost Heater Circuit Fault
E9
E9 displayed and the freezer temperature fluctuates widely, sometimes freezing too hard or not enough.
Thermostat / Temperature Regulation Fault
F1
F1 displayed; freezer may not start cooling after power-up.
Compressor Drive / Relay Fault
F2
F2 displayed; evaporator fan may not run, causing uneven cooling and warm spots.

F8
F8 displayed; fast-freeze function may not work or may be stuck on.
Fast-Freeze Circuit Fault
F9
F9 displayed; interior LED lighting may flicker or fail.
LED Driver / Lighting Circuit Fault
H1
H1 or HI displayed with an audible alarm; freezer interior is too warm and food may be thawing.
High Temperature Alarm Condition
L1
L1 or LO displayed; freezer temperature is lower than set, sometimes causing excessive frosting or very hard ice cream.
Low Temperature Alarm / Overcooling
Symptom
Clicking sound every few minutes; compressor tries to start but stops immediately, freezer not cooling.
Compressor Short Cycling on Overload
Symptom
Freezer door difficult to close or pops open shortly after closing.
Door Alignment / Seal Issue
Symptom
Freezer interior fan is noisy or not running, causing uneven temperatures between shelves.
Evaporator Fan Performance Issue
Symptom
Freezer interior full of frost and ice, especially on the back wall and around shelves.
Excessive Frost Build-Up
Symptom
Freezer interior has strong, unpleasant odour even after cleaning.
Persistent Odour / Contamination
Symptom
Freezer interior light not working but cooling is normal.
Lighting Failure
Symptom
Freezer interior surfaces feel warm or hot to the touch near the door frame.
Warm Door Frame / Mullion Heater Effect
Symptom
Freezer interior temperature fluctuates widely, causing partial thawing and refreezing of food.
Temperature Fluctuation / Control Instability
Symptom
Freezer making loud humming, rattling, or buzzing noises during operation.
Excessive Noise – Mechanical Vibration
Symptom
Freezer not cooling at all; interior is at room temperature, compressor not running.
No Cooling – Compressor Not Starting
Symptom
Freezer over-freezing; temperature much lower than set, with excessive frost on food and walls.
Overcooling – Thermostat Stuck Closed
Symptom
Freezer runs but does not get cold enough; temperature stays above -10°C even after many hours.
Poor Cooling – Long Run Time
Symptom
Freezer runs continuously without cycling off, but temperature is acceptable.
Continuous Running – Control or Load Issue
Symptom
Freezer shows correct temperature on display but food is soft or partially thawed.
Display / Sensor Mismatch
Symptom
Freezer trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when it starts.
Electrical Short / Earth Leakage
Symptom
Freezer will not start at all; no lights, no display, completely dead.
