Ignis freezer shows E3; compressor may run continuously or not at all, and temperature control is erratic.

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

Incorrect evaporator sensor reading, Sensor displaced from coil, Wiring harness damage, Control board failure

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the evaporator area.

Access evaporator: Remove baskets and inner rear panel to expose the evaporator and sensor.
Check sensor placement: Ensure the sensor is clipped tightly to the evaporator tubing where designed. Reattach if loose.
Test and replace: Measure sensor resistance and compare to spec. Replace with an Ignis-compatible evaporator NTC sensor if faulty.

Persistent E3 after sensor replacement indicates a likely control board issue requiring professional diagnosis.
