E15 error; freezer may not cool correctly and may show inconsistent temperature readings.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing sensors or the control board.
Identify all sensors:
- Cabinet NTC (interior liner), evaporator NTC, ambient NTC, and sometimes a separate defrost NTC.
- Use the wiring diagram to locate each sensor and its connector on the main PCB.
Systematic testing:
- Disconnect each sensor one at a time and measure resistance at a known temperature (e.g., room temperature).
- Compare readings between similar NTC types; large deviations suggest a faulty sensor.
- Inspect each sensor's mounting to ensure proper contact with the surface it is meant to measure.
Corrective actions:
- Reattach sensors: If a sensor has come loose from the evaporator or liner, reattach using the original clip or thermal tape.
- Replace out-of-range sensors: Install Blomberg-compatible NTC sensors for any that show open, short, or clearly incorrect resistance.
- Repair harness: Fix any intermittent or damaged wires and connectors.
- If all sensors and wiring are verified good but E15 persists, the main PCB's sensor reading circuitry may be defective and require replacement.
Test: Restore power and monitor temperature readings and operation over 24 hours to confirm stability and absence of E15.
