Possible Causes

Failed zone divider damper motor, Stuck or obstructed air damper, Wiring fault between damper and control board, Control board zone driver failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing interior panels.

Steps:

  • 1. Confirm model type: E17 typically appears on dual-zone Electrolux wine coolers. Verify that both zones are set to appropriate temperatures.
  • 2. Access damper assembly: Remove shelves and interior panels between the upper and lower zones to locate the air damper/divider assembly.
  • 3. Inspect for obstruction: Ensure no bottles or racks are pressing against the damper. Check for ice buildup preventing movement.
  • 4. Check wiring: Verify that the damper motor connector is secure and wires are intact.
  • 5. Replace damper motor: If the damper does not move during operation and wiring is good, replace the Electrolux zone damper motor assembly.

Professional help: If a new damper does not resolve E17, the main control board's zone control circuit may be faulty and should be replaced by a technician.
