Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect the freezer from mains before inspecting the power cord or internal connections.
- Check outlet and plug: Test the wall socket with another appliance to confirm it supplies stable power. Inspect the freezer plug for heat damage or looseness.
- Inspect power cord: Look along the entire length of the cord for cuts, kinks, or crushed sections. Replace the power cord if any damage is found.
- Access mains terminal block: Remove the rear service panel and locate the mains terminal block on the freezer. Ensure all screws are tight and there are no signs of burning or melting.
- Power reset: After checking connections, plug the unit back in and see if E9 clears. Avoid using extension leads or multi-way adapters.
Important: If E9 persists and you suspect an internal power supply fault on the main PCB, do not attempt board-level repairs unless qualified. Contact a professional for main control board replacement.
