Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer. The control board carries mains voltage; handle with care.
- 1. Power cycle: Disconnect power for 10–15 minutes to fully discharge the control board. Reconnect and check if E7 clears temporarily. If it returns, proceed.
- 2. Access main PCB: On most Severin freezers, the main board is located behind the rear lower panel or in a side electronics compartment. Remove the cover screws and panel.
- 3. Visual inspection: Look for burnt areas, swollen capacitors, cracked solder joints, or insect damage. Any visible damage usually means the board must be replaced.
- 4. Check connectors: Reseat all harness connectors to the board (sensors, compressor, fan, UI). Ensure no pins are bent or corroded.
- 5. Surge protection: If E7 occurred after a power surge, consider using a surge-protected outlet after repair to prevent recurrence.
- 6. Replace the PCB: Order the exact Severin main control board for your model. Transfer any jumper settings or mounting hardware from the old board. Connect all harnesses to the same positions as before.
- 7. Test: Reinstall the cover, restore power, and verify that E7 is gone and the freezer cools normally.
Because the main PCB controls all safety functions, if you are unsure about wiring or part compatibility, contact a qualified technician.
