Refrigerant leak in evaporator, Restricted capillary tube, Weak compressor performance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Sealed system repairs involve refrigerant and must be performed by a certified refrigeration technician. Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself.

User checks:

  • Clean condenser and ensure ventilation: Dirty coils or poor airflow can mimic low charge symptoms. Clean and verify clearances.
  • Observe frost pattern: With the inner panel removed (by a technician), a partial frost pattern on the evaporator suggests a sealed system issue.

If E14 persists after basic cleaning and airflow checks, contact Bauknecht service or a qualified technician for leak detection, evacuation, and recharge.
