Advertisements
E1
Freezer displays E1 and interior temperature rises above setpoint; compressor may not start or runs briefly then stops.
Cabinet Temperature Sensor (NTC) Failure
E10
E10 error and water or ice accumulation around the evaporator area; defrost water may not drain properly.
Defrost Drain Blockage or Drain Heater Fault
E11
E11 error; interior LED lighting may not work correctly or flicker; sometimes accompanied by beeping.
Door Switch or Door Sensor Fault
E12
E12 error; freezer may not enter super-freeze mode or may exit it prematurely.
Super-Freeze Function Control Fault
E13
E13 error; audible alarm may sound continuously even when temperature is normal.
Alarm Circuit or Buzzer Fault
E14
E14 error; display may go blank intermittently or show garbled characters.
Display Module Fault
E15
E15 error; compressor and fans may not run at all even though interior light works.
Power Supply / Low Voltage Fault
E16
E16 error; freezer may trip the household breaker or blow fuses when starting.
Short Circuit or Ground Fault in Appliance
E17
E17 error; freezer may not defrost properly and may show irregular temperature swings.
Defrost Timer / Control Logic Fault
E18
E18 error; freezer may be excessively noisy from the fan area or show fan overspeed/underspeed behavior.
Fan Speed Feedback Fault
E2
Freezer shows E2 and struggles to maintain low temperature; frost pattern may be uneven on evaporator.
Evaporator Temperature Sensor (NTC) Failure
E3
Display shows E3 and the compressor may run continuously or not at all; temperature reading on display is clearly wrong.
Ambient / Room Temperature Sensor Failure
E4
Freezer beeps and shows E4; defrost cycles may not occur, leading to heavy ice buildup on evaporator and poor cooling.
Defrost Sensor or Defrost Circuit Failure
E5
E5 error on display; compressor does not start or stops shortly after starting; clicking sound from rear control area.
Compressor Start / Overload Protection Fault
E6
Freezer shows E6 and interior light or display may flicker; unit may not respond to key presses.
Communication Error Between Display PCB and Main Control Board
E7
E7 error appears and the freezer may not enter or exit fast-freeze mode correctly; temperature control seems erratic.
Keypad / User Interface Fault
E8
E8 error and continuous alarm; freezer temperature is too high despite compressor running frequently.
High Temperature Alarm / Cooling Performance Fault
E9
E9 error; interior fan noise may stop and airflow inside the freezer is weak or absent.
Evaporator Fan Motor Fault
Symptom
Condensation or frost forming on the outside of the freezer cabinet or around the door frame.
External Condensation
Symptom
Freezer display works but buttons do not respond or respond intermittently.
Unresponsive Control Panel
Symptom
Freezer door difficult to open immediately after closing; strong suction effect.
Door Vacuum / Pressure Equalization
Symptom
Freezer emits a burning smell or visible smoke from the rear or control area.
Electrical Overheating / Component Burnout
Symptom
Freezer interior light does not work, but cooling is normal.
Interior Light Circuit Failure
Symptom
Freezer interior temperature fluctuates widely; some items freeze solid while others are soft.
Uneven Cooling / Airflow Problem
Symptom
Freezer makes loud knocking or banging noises during compressor start or stop.
Compressor Mounting or Refrigerant Line Vibration
Symptom
Freezer not cooling at all; interior is at room temperature, compressor not running, but interior light works.
Compressor Not Starting
Symptom
Freezer overcooling; interior temperature much lower than setpoint, heavy frost on food and walls.
Thermostat or Temperature Control Stuck Closed
Symptom
Freezer produces a loud humming or buzzing noise while running.
Compressor or Fan Noise
Symptom
Freezer runs but does not reach set temperature; food is soft or partially thawed.
Insufficient Cooling / Weak Sealed System
Symptom
Freezer runs continuously without cycling off; compressor and fan rarely stop.
Long Run Time / Poor Efficiency
Symptom
Freezer starts then stops after a few seconds; clicking sound repeats every few minutes.
Compressor Short Cycling
Symptom
Freezer trips a GFCI/RCD outlet intermittently, especially when compressor or defrost cycle starts.
Earth Leakage / Ground Fault
Symptom
Freezer vibrates excessively and may rattle against surrounding cabinets or walls.
Excessive Vibration
Symptom
Freezer will not start at all; no lights, no display, no sound.
No Power to Appliance
Symptom
Ice buildup on the interior walls and around the door opening.
Excessive Frost / Air Ingress
Symptom
Interior fan runs but compressor does not; freezer warms up.
Compressor Control or Relay Failure
Symptom
Strong unpleasant odor inside the freezer, even after removing spoiled food.
Persistent Odor / Contamination
Symptom
Water pooling under or inside the freezer compartment.
Water Leak from Defrost System
