It's the flapper heater on the door - the flap on the right side door has a low voltage heater inside it, and E20 indicates the flapper heater current is low. You will to seek a technician to perform the following:

1. Check the connections for the flapper heater.
2. Check the resistance of the heater. If open circuit, replace the heater.

You can try this special mode, but it will disable the interior lights as well. You will be required to have both the fridge & freezer doors open, and to push and hold the compartment select MODE button on the display board for 10 seconds. When the cabinet is in this special option mode the following will not operate:

• The interior light will not turn on when the PC door is opened.
• There will be no set temperature lights (LEDs) displayed on the display module.
• The door alarm will be disconnected and will not sound even if the doors were to be left open.

NOTE: When in the special option mode, the fridge icon will be illuminated, indicating that the appliance is in this mode. To cancel, you can exit this mode at anytime by pushing and holding the compartment select MODE button for 10 seconds. If not exited manually, the refrigerator will automatically exit this mode after 80 hours.

that the sensor is giving a false reading to the PCB - replace sensor

You would notice that when it beeps, there are a series of beeps, which relate to an error code - also, the temperature panel would be most likely flashing the same amount of times the beeping occurs. The code relates to a component failure that the active smart system is having problems with. For example, 17 beeps would be error code 17 - which relates to the freezer fan is drawing less current than is expected. Either the wiring is open circuit or the fan is faulty.

You could provide the details here and we could assist.

It relates to the defrost element being aborted the last 2 times after 40 minutes, and I suggest you have a technician check the defrost element assembly in the freezer. If faulty, replace.

Which fan? Fridge fan or freezer fan? Fridge fan 1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. 2. Remove all PC shelving. 3. Remove the duct grill in the PC. 4. Remove the PC duct cover and polystyrene insulation. 5. Using 2 fingers, withdraw the fan motor upwards. It is mounted horizontally in the divider partition. 6. With the motor out, this will expose a small multi plug and socket connection to the fan motor and wiring harness. Unplug. 7. To refit back together, fit the wiring harness multi plug first into the pocket of the divider partition. 8. Using your 2 fingers, slip the motor back into the divider partition to fit horizontally. NOTE: The back of the fan motor faces upwards. 9. Refit the duct covers and test. To test the fan(s), Testing a PC or FC fan motor with a multi meter is not possible, due to the electronics contained within the motor. The simple way to test a fan motor is to apply a DC voltage with a 9-volt battery.

The low ambient heater is drawing less current than expected. Either the heater or wiring is open circuit or the heater is faulty.

1. Check the wiring and connections at both heater and power module
2. Check the low ambient heater resistance. If not within limits replace.

As for the fan, 1. Disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. 2. Remove all PC shelving. 3. Remove the duct grill in the PC. 4. Remove the PC duct cover and polystyrene insulation. 5. Using 2 fingers, withdraw the fan motor upwards. It is mounted horizontally in the divider partition. 6. With the motor out, this will expose a small multi plug and socket connection to the fan motor and wiring harness. Unplug. 7.

NOTE: The back of the fan motor faces upwards. 9. Refit the duct covers and test.

Fault code 64? Are you sure it is not 14? Fault code 14 indicates the low ambient heater is drawing more current than expected. Either there is a short in the heater or wiring, or the heater is faulty.

first you need to provide more details of the fridge. There are two 12 Volt DC electrically commutated motors (ECMs). The motor speeds are controlled using a pulse width modulating (PWM) technique, which are controlled by the PCB. When the compressor is turned on, provided the doors are closed both the fans will also be switched on except immediately following a defrost cycle, where there is a delay of 5 minutes after the compressor has started before the freezer fan starts.

flashing lights and beeps indicate a component failure. Count the beeps and provide details here.
