Possible Causes

Refrigerant leak in evaporator or condenser, Blocked capillary tube, Severely restricted airflow causing incorrect sensor readings, Faulty pressure or temperature sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit. Refrigerant systems are sealed; do not cut or open lines unless you are a certified refrigeration technician.

Steps (user-level):

  • 1. Check airflow: Clean the air filter, intake grille, and condenser coil. Ensure the fan is running at full speed.
  • 2. Observe operation: After cleaning, run the unit for 15–20 minutes. Check if the evaporator coil becomes evenly cool and slightly wet. If only a small section frosts or the coil stays warm, there may be a refrigerant issue.
  • 3. Sensor inspection: Verify that the evaporator and ambient sensors are correctly attached and wiring is intact. Replace any obviously damaged sensors.
  • 4. Professional service: If F2 persists and cooling is inadequate, contact an Ebac-authorized refrigeration technician to check system pressures, locate leaks, and recharge or replace components as needed.

Warning: Do not attempt to add refrigerant without proper equipment and training; incorrect charging can damage the compressor and is illegal in many regions.
