Display shows E2 and the evaporator area may ice up or the unit short cycles.

Safety first: Disconnect the EuroCave from power before accessing internal components. Sharp metal edges may be present; wear cut-resistant gloves.

E2 usually indicates the evaporator temperature sensor is not being read correctly.

• Step 1 – Defrost the unit: If there is heavy ice on the evaporator, power off the unit and allow it to fully defrost (door slightly open, towels to catch water). This can take several hours.
• Step 2 – Access the evaporator compartment: Remove internal shelves and the rear inner panel (if accessible) to expose the evaporator coil and sensor. On some models, access is from the rear of the cabinet.
• Step 3 – Inspect the sensor: Look for a small probe clipped to or near the evaporator tubing. Check for broken insulation, corrosion, or a sensor that has come loose from the coil.
• Step 4 – Check wiring and connections: Follow the sensor cable to the main control board. Ensure connectors are fully seated and free of oxidation. Clean lightly with electrical contact cleaner if needed.
• Step 5 – Test or replace: Measure resistance of the NTC and compare to spec. If out of range, replace with a EuroCave-compatible evaporator NTC sensor. Clip or strap it firmly back to the evaporator in the same position.
• Step 6 – Reassemble and test: Refit panels, restore power, and monitor for return of E2. Confirm that frost pattern on the evaporator is even and that the unit cycles normally.

Note: Persistent E2 with a known-good sensor may indicate a faulty main control board.
