Possible Causes

Low refrigerant charge, Restricted capillary tube or filter-drier, Weak compressor, Non-condensable gases in system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety First: Refrigerant work requires EPA-certified service. Do not attempt to open the sealed system without proper training and tools.

  • Clean airflow components: Before assuming a sealed system issue, ensure condenser coils and fans are clean and operating correctly.
  • Check frost pattern: With panels removed, observe the evaporator plate during operation. A partial frost pattern or only at the inlet suggests a sealed system problem.
  • Listen to compressor: A noisy or excessively hot compressor may indicate internal wear.
  • Call a professional: If airflow and controls are normal but E20 persists, contact an authorized Electrolux service provider to check pressures, locate leaks, and recharge or replace components as needed.
