How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Always unplug the refrigerator before opening any electrical covers.
E16 suggests a power supply issue.
- Check outlet: Test the wall socket with another appliance or a voltage tester to ensure stable power.
- Avoid extensions: Plug the refrigerator directly into a dedicated wall outlet.
- Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, burns, or loose connections at the rear terminal block.
- PCB power section: If external power is stable, the internal power supply on the main PCB may be faulty. Look for burnt components or bulging capacitors.
- Replace PCB: If damage is found or E16 persists, replace the main control board. This should be done by a qualified technician.
