Possible Causes
Low refrigerant charge, Partially blocked capillary tube, Weak compressor, Dirty condenser coil
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning. Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system without proper certification.
- Clean condenser: Remove rear panel and thoroughly clean the condenser coil and fan area to improve heat rejection.
- Check ambient temperature: Ensure the unit is operating within the specified room temperature range.
- Listen to compressor: When powered, the compressor should run smoothly without loud clicking or buzzing. Repeated clicking may indicate a failing compressor or start device.
- Monitor performance: After cleaning, run the unit for several hours. If E16 returns and ice output remains low, the sealed system may require professional service (refrigerant, compressor, or capillary tube issues).
