Display shows E6; interior lights may work but compressor does not start or runs abnormally

Safety: Always unplug the refrigerator before removing the control board cover. Capacitors on the board can retain charge briefly after power-off.

What to do:

• 1. Power reset: Unplug the appliance for at least 10–15 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge. Plug back in and observe if E6 reappears.
• 2. Check supply voltage: Ensure the wall outlet provides stable voltage within the range specified on the rating plate. Avoid extension cords and multi-plug adapters.
• 3. Inspect the control board: Remove the control cover (usually at the rear of the fridge or behind the top front panel). Look for burnt components, bulging capacitors, or signs of moisture damage.
• 4. Reseat connectors: With power disconnected, unplug and replug all harness connectors to the board to ensure good contact.
• 5. Replacement: If E6 persists and there are signs of board damage or no other component faults are found, the main control board is likely defective. Replace it with the exact Amica part number. This task is best performed by a qualified technician to avoid miswiring or electrostatic damage.

Warning: Do not attempt to repair the PCB at component level unless you are trained in electronics; improper repair can create fire and shock hazards.
