Brandt AL01

Brandt error code AL01 indicates: Brandt BFL / BFA Spazio Total No-Frost Refrigerator: High temperature alarm in freezer compartment AL01; internal temperature rises above -9°C and audible buzzer sounds..

The primary root cause for Brandt code AL01 is: On Brandt refrigeration units featuring Spazio Total No-Frost multi-channel airflow, fast cooling boost, and dual evaporator electronic management: Door left ajar, magnetic perimeter gasket damaged, loss of refrigerant gas charge (R600a), or weak compressor pump..

To resolve error code AL01: Check door closure and verify magnetic seal airtightness with a paper strip. Allow 12 hours for stabilization if newly stocked. If compressor runs continuously without cooling, leak test system. Press and hold the Super Cold and Temperature Selection buttons simultaneously for 6 seconds until the acoustic tone confirms memory reset.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Brandt code AL01 persists, the physical component causing On Brandt refrigeration units featuring Spazio Total No-Frost multi-channel airflow, fast cooling boost, and dual evaporator electronic management: Door left ajar, magnetic perimeter gasket damaged, loss of refrigerant gas charge (R600a), or weak compressor pump. must be inspected or replaced.

Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Compressor Motor Windings (Run/Start) & Defrost Heater across Across 3 compressor pins (Common, Run, Start): R(C-S) + R(C-R) = R(S-R). Winding to earth: >20MΩ (OL).. Expected nominal reading is 15Ω–25Ω (Run C-R), 20Ω–35Ω (Start C-S), 200Ω–400Ω (Defrost Heater). PTC Relay: 10Ω–30Ω at 25°C.. Tolerance: ±10%. Any low insulation resistance to casing (<2MΩ) trips the breaker. Defrost bimetal reads <0.5Ω when sub-zero..

Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
