Bauknecht F3E2 — Refrigerator / Freezer
[ACTIVE]Bauknecht ProFresh Total NoFrost Refrigerator / Freezer: Diagnostic code F3E2 indicates freezer compartment (FC) NTC thermistor fault; compressor runs continuously or short-cycles.
On Bauknecht refrigerators (Bauknecht Dynamic Intelligence and Zen Motor direct-drive architecture): Open circuit or resistance drift in freezer sensor capsule. Nominal calibration: 2.7 kΩ at 25°C, 23.3 kΩ at -18°C (0°F).
Disconnect power. Remove rear freezer back panel to access sensor. Measure resistance with digital multimeter: at -18°C expect 21–25 kΩ, at 0°C expect 7.5–8.5 kΩ. Replace sensor assembly if open circuit or reading infinite Ω. Hold Reset / Alarm button for 5 seconds until the acoustic alarm stops and temperature reading stabilizes.
