Possible Causes
Refrigerant leak in Candy sealed system, Blocked capillary tube, Partially blocked filter-drier, Weak compressor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the refrigerator. Do not attempt to open the sealed system unless you are a licensed refrigeration technician.
E20 indicates that the control detects poor cooling performance not explained by sensors alone.
- Basic checks: Confirm doors close properly, gaskets seal, and ventilation around the fridge is adequate. Clean condenser coils.
- Temperature test: Place thermometers in fridge and freezer and monitor over several hours. If temperatures remain high despite long compressor run times, a sealed system issue is likely.
- Frost pattern: Remove the freezer rear panel and inspect the evaporator. A small patch of frost only near the inlet suggests low refrigerant or blockage.
- Call a professional: Sealed system repairs (leak detection, recharging, compressor replacement) require specialized tools and must be performed by a qualified technician.
