U-line refrigerator model u-1175rw

E3 means low pressure of refrigerant.

The E3 error code displays when an Abnormal Operation Protection Error has occurred and activates to protect the unit from damage. This error code will require service.


HOPE THIS HELP!

According to http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CDMQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aircommand.com.au%2Fdocs%2FIbisTechManual.pdf&ei=29JPVfO8NYu9sAWE_YGQAg&usg=AFQjCNEPb_nNaXQsRrD2ZphXVLpRYwECGQ&sig2=cHErjmhdOfyCsep25gpmfw

E4: Indicates lack of refrigerant, or the compressor is not running, or the thermistor is out of calibration. Action: Check that the compressor is running by listening. If it is apparent that the compressor is running, then check the temperature difference across the evaporator. i.e. Measure temperature of return air at inlet filters and measure temp. of discharge air at grilles. This temp diff. should be 14 to 18 C. with fan on hi speed. If temp diff. is less than this, suspect lack of refrigerant. Fit a suction gauge to access valve at rear of unit. See fig 12. On a 35C outside temp. then suction should be 380 to 450Kpa.

Action (continued) If the temp. differential is 14C or more but unit goes out on E4 after approx. 30 minutes, please check the actual thermistor temperature by the following procedure. With the inside fan running on Hi. Press Temp down button followed by the mode button. Hold them both in for approx 5 seconds. The amber Lock LED illuminates. Now press the Temp down button and the Sleep button Together for about 1 second. The green Med speed will be Flashing. The display is now reading the temp of the outside coil. Now press the Temp up button once. The Green Hi speed will be flashing. The display is now reading the temp. of the inside coil. This temp will usually be from 5 to 12 C. If it is above 24C. It is another indication of lack of refigerant. If on the other hand the air on /air off differential is 14C or greater then suspect the thermistor itself to be out of calibration. Check the thermistor as per an E1,E2 or E3 failure by measuring its resistance. See fig 19 and referring to table 1.

Hello friend, thanks for your inquiry!

Based off the information you provided if your refrigerator is displaying an "E3" error code you could be seeing a problem within the main control board or thermistor. I would suggest a reset to your appliance, this can clear any false codes, and you can do this by unplugging your appliance for roughly ten minutes. I hope this is helpful. -Matt

You gave an excellent description, but you listed it on the Cars and Trucks section. You will not find too many Experts for Refridgerators on the Cars and Trucks section.

I would listen to the E3 Code and use your Web Browser for your make of appliance. Ask questions like "What is E3 defect in your brand of appliance?". The magnet idea is a good one, but check your door pivots at both the top and bottom of the Fridge. The door may not be aligned.

Some appliance makers have online Manuals for their customers.

For parts or possibly the answer of your E3 question, try Servall. They are a franchise, have been around for over 50 Years and may be listed in your phonebook. If not they have a Website. Also may be spelled as Serveall, but I think it is Servall.

I hope mu solution is helpful.

"E3" on display for upper zone - error of DC
electric fan for upper zone.

I had an E3 on the upper zone. This fix was simple. Unscrew the 2 screws for the middle tray. Pull tray out as far as you can. Check the wires in the back, those are the wires for the fans in the back. The connectors over time corrode, and break off... All I did was connected the 2 wires that had broken off of their connector directly to each other. E3 went away and the cooler is working as it should now.in

Hello,

Sounds like you have a evaporator fan motor. That is what the error code you have indicates, the fan blade could be stalled to.

I work on these units every day and know them very well, I can walk you through any repair on this refrigerator.

Hello, I followed your instructions, hold the up arrow and at the same time press and release the light bulb 3 times and then up arrow to 3, got the Er codes E3 and E5, now I'm trying to do the last step to go back to refrigeration cycle and it doesn't work. Help?

Self Diagnostics
To enter Self Diagnostic mode, both temperature control panel displays must be illuminated. A display
can be illuminated by pressing an adjacent temperature adjustment button. When both displays are
illuminated, set the freezer and refrigerator temperature settings to 5. Simultaneously press and hold all
4 temperature adjustment buttons for approximately 3 seconds. A flashing 0 in the refrigerator and
freezer displays will indicate that the refrigerator is in Self Diagnostic mode.

For temperature control panels with single-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button
will increment the numbers up and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the
numbers down. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the
freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in
the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test.
Press the HOLD button for 3 seconds to begin the test.
For temperature control panels with 3-digit displays, the COLDER temperature adjustment button will
increment the numbers down and the WARMER temperature adjustment button will increment the
numbers up. Use the freezer temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the
freezer display. Use the refrigerator temperature adjustment buttons to enter the test code number in the refrigerator display. When a test code has been entered, the displays will flash to confirm the test
code. Press any button other than a temperature adjust button to begin the test.
When testing has been completed, do one of the following things:
• Enter code 1 5 to completely reset the system.
• Enter code 1 6 to exit diagnostic mode. GSS manual

we unplugged the refrigerator for a bit over 1 minute and replugged and problem went away.
