Possible Causes
Refrigerant leak in evaporator or condenser, Restricted capillary tube, Faulty pressure switch (if equipped), Control misreading temperature/pressure
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system unless you are a licensed technician.
- 1. Visual inspection: Look for oily residue on refrigerant lines, evaporator, or condenser, which can indicate a leak.
- 2. Check coil frost pattern: With the unit running, observe the evaporator. A partial frost pattern or only a small section icing up suggests low charge or restriction.
- 3. Verify fans and airflow: Ensure all fans are operating and coils are clean to rule out airflow-related temperature issues.
- 4. Sensor check: Confirm that temperature sensors (evaporator and condenser thermistors) are properly attached and reading correctly. Replace any faulty sensors.
- 5. Professional service: If E17 persists and a sealed system issue is suspected, contact a licensed refrigeration technician to perform leak detection, evacuation, and recharging per Iceman specifications.
