Error Code E CL

Low Side Cycle Leakage — Refrigerant Leak / Sealed System Problem

What This Means

Low side refrigerant leak; Bad compressor; Extended door open time

How to Fix

1. 1

   Step 1: Use SVC App Step 1 to check evaporator temperature — determine if sealed system problem or normal operation.

2. 2

   Step 2: If no SVC App, use temperature gun to check evaporator temperature change.

3. 3

   Step 3: Check PCB voltage — if faulty, replace PCB.

4. 4

   Step 4: Measure high and low side pressures and recovery time — if recovery exceeds 15 minutes, restriction is present.

5. 5

   Step 5: If equalization pressure is above 20 psi, compressor is defective — replace compressor.

6. 6

   Step 6: If equalization pressure is below 20 psi, refrigerant has leaked — locate leak.

7. 7

   Step 7: Inspect low pressure side parts first: evaporator, suction pipe. If leak found, replace drier and compressor.

8. 8

   Step 8: If no low side leak found, check high pressure side: condenser, drier. If leak found, replace part and drier.

9. 9

   Step 9: After repair, error code clears when freezer temperature reaches 14°F.

10. 10

    Step 10: Optionally install UV drier for next visit leak verification.
