Error Code E CL

Low side cycle leakage — detected by low side refrigerant leak, bad compressor, or prolonged door open

Also displayed as: E CL

How to Fix

1. 1

   Step 1: Connect SVC App. Confirm error code is E CL.

2. 2

   Step 2: Using SVC App Step 1, measure pressures and recovery time. If equalization is normal (less than 15 min, above 20 psi), unit may be normal — check for customer error (prolonged door open).

3. 3

   Step 3: If equalization pressure is below 20 psi after normal recovery time, refrigerant is low due to leakage.

4. 4

   Step 4: Using nitrogen charge (SVC App Step 2), pressure-test the low-pressure side (evaporator, suction pipe) for leaks.

5. 5

   Step 5: If leak found on low-pressure side, replace leaking part plus compressor and drier (moisture contamination of low side is likely).

6. 6

   Step 6: If no leak on low-pressure side, inspect high-pressure side (condenser, drier).

7. 7

   Step 7: If high-pressure side leak found, replace leaking part and drier.

8. 8

   Step 8: If no leak found anywhere, replace drier and evacuate/recharge system.

9. 9

   Step 9: Error code clears automatically when freezer temperature reaches 14°F. Install UV drier if leak point cannot be located.
