Possible Causes

Failed current sensor on compressor line, Loose sensor connector, Damaged wiring harness, Faulty main control board sensing circuit

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator. The compressor circuit is high voltage and should be serviced with caution.

Steps:

  • Access the compressor compartment and locate the current sensor (often a ring-type sensor around a compressor lead).
  • Ensure the sensor is properly seated and the connector is tight.
  • Inspect wiring for damage or burns.

Corrective action: Replace the current sensor if it is cracked, burnt, or open-circuit (per service data). If E14 persists with a known-good sensor, the main control board may require replacement. Compressor electrical testing beyond this should be done by a professional.
