Lloyd Refrigerator Error Codes
| Error Code | Meaning | Possible Causes | Solutions |
|---|---|---|---|
| E1 | Temperature sensor failure in the fridge compartment. |
– Faulty temperature sensor. – Loose connections in the wiring. |
– Check the temperature sensor for damage. Replace it if necessary. – Inspect the wiring for any loose or broken connections and repair them. – Check ohm on multimeter, value should be 1 (open) or short (0). |
| E2 | Defrost sensor failure. |
– Defrost sensor malfunction. – Accumulated frost affecting sensor readings. |
– Test the defrost sensor with a multimeter; replace it if it’s not functioning. – Check ohm on multimeter, value should be 1 (open) or short (0). – Manually defrost the refrigerator to remove excessive ice buildup. |
| E3 | Evaporator sensor failure. |
– Faulty evaporator sensor. – Wiring issues or loose connections. |
– Check the evaporator sensor for damage or faults. Replace it if needed. – Check ohm on multimeter, value should be 1 (open) or short (0). – Ensure all connections to the sensor are secure. |
| E4 | Freezer sensor failure. |
– Defective freezer sensor. – Wiring issues. |
– Inspect the freezer sensor and replace it if defective. – Check ohm on multimeter, value should be 1 (open) or short (0). – Check wiring connections for any faults. |
| E5 | Communication failure between the display board and main control board. |
– Loose or damaged connections between boards. – Faulty main control board. |
– Recheck all connections between the display and control boards and fix any loose wires. – Check continuity of each wire with multimeter on buzzer mode. – If issues persist, consider replacing the main control board. |
| E6 | Compressor failure. |
– Faulty compressor. – Electrical issues preventing the compressor from starting. |
– Inspect the compressor for any visible signs of damage. – Check for power supply issues and ensure the compressor is getting power. If the compressor is defective, it may need to be replaced. – Multimeter checks with ohm setting value should be same of three terminal of compressor (inverter). – C to G should be zero. – Normal compressor value CS+CR=SR and C to G should be zero. – If readings are ok then rotor may be locked, check for ampere, it should be under 1.5 amp. |
| F1/F2 | Freezer or fridge door not closing properly or left open. |
– Door seal issues. – Obstruction preventing the door from closing. |
– Inspect the door seals for wear or damage and replace them if needed. – Ensure no items are blocking the door from closing properly. – Check door switch continuity with multimeter. |
General Steps for Troubleshooting
- Unplug the Refrigerator: Always unplug the unit before attempting any repairs or checks.
- Consult the Manual: Check the user manual for specific troubleshooting tips related to your model.
- Reset the Refrigerator: Sometimes, unplugging the refrigerator for a few minutes and then plugging it back in can clear temporary errors.
