Possible Causes

Open or shorted freezer thermistor, Damaged thermistor harness, Poor connection at main control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before removing panels in the freezer.

  • Access thermistor: The freezer thermistor is typically clipped to the evaporator tubing or mounted on the rear freezer wall behind a small cover.
  • Visual inspection: Check for broken wires, loose clips, or corrosion at the connector.
  • Reseat connector: At the main control board, reseat the freezer thermistor connector.

If the E2 code remains, the thermistor likely needs replacement. This involves unclipping the old sensor, routing the new harness along the same path, and connecting it to the control board.
