About Bertazzoni freezer column error code E5
What E5 means on a freezer column
The frost sensor on the freezing side is failed — the part that decides when a defrost is needed. That comes out of the refrigeration with an error-code display manual this maker publishes for the machine, and it is one of only three documents in the whole current catalog that carries a code table at all.
What to do
- The maker's own note with this table is worth repeating: the appliance will usually go on cooling and freezing while showing one of these, so this is not an emergency.
- Note the code before it is cleared, and note whether temperatures have actually drifted — a sensor problem with correct temperatures and one with a warm cabinet are different appointments.
- None of these is an owner repair; they are sensing and control problems and they are diagnosed with a meter.
Write the code down before you clear it, and photograph the display if you can. On a machine that only shows a problem intermittently, that is the one piece of evidence that disappears the moment power is cycled, and it is the first thing anybody will ask you for.
