What may contribute

Possible causes

Safe preliminary checks

Work in order and stop whenever a step is not supported by the documentation for your model.

  1. Record the exact model

    • Write down E2 and the complete model number.
    • Confirm that the product is an undercounter refrigerator covered by the source guidance.

  2. Power cycle once

    • Disconnect power for one minute if the plug or breaker can be reached safely.
    • Restore power and monitor for one minute.

  3. Verify operation

    • Check that the unit is operating normally after power is restored.
    • Request service if E2 remains or returns.

Actions not recommended

  • Do not open control, wiring, compressor, or sealed-system areas.
  • Do not test live voltage.
  • Do not repeatedly reset a returning E2 code.

When to stop and request service

  • E2 remains or returns after one documented power reset.
