Possible Causes

Defective fast‑freeze NTC sensor, Wiring fault to fast‑freeze sensor, Stuck fast‑freeze relay on PCB, Firmware/control logic error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect mains power before accessing sensors or PCB.

Steps to address E11:

  • 1. Try a control reset: Turn off the appliance at the mains for 10 minutes, then power back on. Attempt to toggle fast‑freeze mode via the control panel.
  • 2. Locate fast‑freeze sensor: On some Caple freezers, a dedicated sensor is placed near the fast‑freeze section or shelf. Remove internal covers as needed to access it.
  • 3. Inspect and test sensor: Check for physical damage and test resistance with a multimeter. Replace if open, shorted, or out of expected range.
  • 4. Check wiring to PCB: Trace the harness from the sensor to the main control board, looking for pinched or broken wires.
  • 5. PCB relay check: If the sensor is good, the fast‑freeze relay or control circuit on the PCB may be stuck or failed. Replacement of the PCB is usually required.

Note: A stuck fast‑freeze circuit can cause excessive energy use and overly low temperatures; resolve E11 promptly.
