Low Medium High

Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom

DR Door open alarm Low The panel shows DR and an audible alarm sounds after the door has been open for approximately 60 seconds. View E3 Defrost system fault Medium The panel shows E3 and zone temperatures slowly rise over days as the evaporator coil becomes encased in ice, reducing heat exchange efficiency. View E5 Control panel comm timeout Low The display shows E5 and button presses on the control panel produce no response. View F1 Upper zone sensor fault High The digital panel shows F1 continuously or flashes it alternately with the current zone temperature. View F2 Lower zone sensor fault High The panel shows F2 steadily or alternates the code with the lower zone temperature reading. View F3 Zone communication fault High The control panel shows F3 and one zone stops responding to temperature or fan commands from the master controller. View F5 Evaporator fan fault Medium The panel shows F5 and may also trigger a high-temperature alarm in the affected zone if cooling suffers significantly. View F6 Humidity sensor fault Medium The panel displays F6 and the humidity reading may show dashes or a fixed incorrect value. View F7 Condenser fan fault Medium The panel shows F7, often accompanied by a rising zone temperature as condenser heat rejection is impaired. View F8 Inverter / power module fault High The panel shows F8 and neither zone is maintaining temperature. The compressor may be silent or attempt to start and shut down immediately. View F9 LED lighting fault Low The panel shows F9 and interior LED lighting is partially or fully non-functional.
