Display shows E2; defrost cycles may not occur and frost builds up on the evaporator.

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

Failed defrost NTC sensor, Sensor not in proper contact with evaporator, Broken sensor wiring, Faulty control board

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing the inner rear panel.

Defrost manually: Empty the freezer and allow all ice to melt. This will also expose the evaporator and sensor.
Locate defrost sensor: Find the small NTC sensor clipped to the evaporator tubing. Ensure it is firmly attached.
Test sensor: Disconnect and measure resistance. Replace the defrost NTC sensor if readings are out of range.

If E2 remains after sensor replacement, the defrost control function on the main PCB is likely faulty and should be serviced by a professional.
