Possible Causes
Loose or oxidized ribbon cable between UI and main board, Damaged user interface PCB, Faulty main control board communication circuit, Moisture ingress in control panel
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing the control panel or touching any electronics.
- 1. Remove control panel: On Electrolux upright freezers, gently pry off the front control panel or remove screws from the top console to access the user interface board and wiring.
- 2. Check connectors: Reseat the ribbon cable and any plug connectors between the UI and main control board. Look for corrosion or bent pins.
- 3. Inspect for moisture: If there are signs of condensation or liquid damage, dry the area thoroughly and consider replacing the UI board.
- 4. Visual inspection of boards: Look for burnt components, cracked solder joints, or damaged traces on both the UI and main board.
- 5. Test operation: Reassemble, restore power, and see if E6 clears. If the error persists, replace the user interface board first (most common), then the main control board if needed.
