Question:

What does the error code 1E or 1C mean on my freezer? How can I resolve this issue?

 

Answer:

The error code 1E or 1C on your freezer indicates a problem with the freezer temperature sensor. This sensor helps regulate the temperature inside the freezer. When there's an issue with the sensor, the freezer may not function properly. Here's what you need to know about the error code and how to address it:

 

Reason behind the error codes:

a. 1E (Open Sensor) � The sensor is suspected to be reading temperatures below -50 degrees Celsius.

b. 1C (Short Sensor) � The sensor is suspected to be reading temperatures above 50 degrees Celsius.

Solutions to resolve the issue:

a. For the Open Sensor error, check the wiring connections between the sensor and the control board. Ensure they're secure and not damaged. If the connections are fine, the sensor might need to be replaced. Contact a professional technician for assistance.

b. For the Short Sensor error, inspect the wiring connections similarly. If the connections are good, check whether the sensor is malfunctioning due to exposure to high temperatures. Clean the area around the sensor and ensure proper airflow. If the problem persists, consult a professional technician.

 

Terms:

 

Error Code � A code displayed when a machine encounters an issue. In this case, 1E or 1C refers to the freezer temperature sensor error.

Freezer Temperature Sensor � A device responsible for detecting and controlling the temperature inside the freezer.

Open sensor � Indicates that the sensor is detecting extremely low temperatures (below -50 degrees Celsius).

Short sensor � Signifies that the sensor is detecting unusually high temperatures (above 50 degrees Celsius).
