Possible Causes

Incorrect user input, Faulty sensor algorithm in control PCB, Defective internal sensor (if equipped), Firmware error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • 1. Verify settings: Ensure you are entering the correct food type and weight as specified in the Vida manual.
  • 2. Power reset: Unplug for 5 minutes and plug back in to clear any temporary logic error.
  • 3. Test manual defrost: Use manual power and time settings to defrost. If manual modes work but E20 appears only on auto defrost, the issue is likely in the control logic.

If E20 persists, the control PCB may require replacement or firmware update, which must be performed by an authorized service center.
