Possible Causes

Refrigerant leak in evaporator or tubing, Partially blocked capillary tube, Weak compressor, Faulty system charge from factory or after repair

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: The sealed refrigeration system must only be serviced by certified technicians. Do not attempt to cut or open refrigerant lines.

  • Basic checks: Ensure the condenser is clean and the fan is running properly. Poor airflow can mimic low refrigerant symptoms.
  • Observe frost pattern: With panels removed and the unit running, a normal system will frost evenly across the evaporator. If only a small section frosts or there is no frost at all, this suggests low charge or restriction.
  • Listen for compressor: Confirm the compressor is running continuously when cooling is demanded. Unusual noises (clicking, loud humming) may indicate internal compressor issues.
  • Check ambient temperature: Very high room temperatures can reduce ice output and trigger performance errors. Improve ventilation or move the unit to a cooler location if possible.
  • Call a technician: If E06 persists after cleaning and ventilation checks, a refrigeration specialist must locate leaks, repair, evacuate, and recharge the system to Candy specifications.
