Freezer shows E7 and may not respond correctly to temperature setting changes; display may show incorrect temperatures.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before removing the control panel or top cover.

• 1. Power cycle: Disconnect power for 10 minutes, then reconnect. If E7 reappears immediately, proceed with hardware checks.
• 2. Access control panel: Remove the screws or clips securing the front control fascia (often at the top of the door or cabinet). Gently pull it forward.
• 3. Inspect ribbon cable and connectors: Check the flat cable between the display board and main PCB for kinks, corrosion, or partial insertion. Reseat both ends carefully.
• 4. Check for moisture or spills: Look for signs of condensation or liquid damage on the control board. Dry the area thoroughly and clean light corrosion with isopropyl alcohol and a soft brush.
• 5. Visual inspection of components: Examine the display PCB for burnt components or cracked solder joints, especially around connectors.
• 6. Replace faulty module: If reseating cables does not clear E7, replace the user interface / display module with a Siemens-compatible part. In some models, the main PCB may also need replacement if communication drivers are damaged.
• 7. Reassemble and test: Refit the fascia, restore power, and verify that buttons and display respond normally and E7 is cleared.

Note: Firmware or configuration issues are rare but may require a Siemens service technician with diagnostic tools.
