Ignis freezer shows E9; compressor may not start and unit may be silent.

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

Burnt compressor relay, Tripped overload protector, Loose compressor terminals, Faulty compressor

Safety first: Unplug the freezer. Do not touch compressor terminals when powered.

Access compressor: Remove rear lower panel and compressor terminal cover.
Inspect relay and overload: Look for burn marks or melted plastic. Replace the compressor start relay and overload if damaged.
Check terminal fit: Ensure the relay and overload fit snugly on the compressor pins.

If E9 persists and the compressor hums or overheats, the compressor itself may be failing and requires professional service.
