DISPATCHAlways disconnect appliance from 230V/400V mains before opening panels. Use CAT III multimeter for circuit testing.
Frequently Asked Questions: Faure E02
FAQ TREEWhat does error code E02 mean on a Faure appliance?
Faure error code E02 indicates: Faure FRA / FRB Series / Defrost Control Fridge-Freezer: Automatic ice maker harvest error E02; ice mold ejector blades or twist tray mechanism fails to complete harvest cycle..
What is the root cause of Faure error code E02?
The primary root cause for Faure code E02 is: On Faure (Faure FRA / FRB Series / Defrost Control Fridge-Freezer) models: Deformed ice cube jamming ejector fingers, defective harvest gear motor (~2.2–3.0 kΩ coil resistance), or open ice mold heater element..
How do I fix or resolve Faure error code E02?
To resolve error code E02: Clear jammed ice from mold. Run diagnostic ice maker test cycle. Measure harvest motor coil resistance (~2.5 kΩ) and mold heater resistance (~80–120 Ω). Press and hold Départ/Pause and Annulation buttons for 6 seconds until all status indicators flash synchronously and clear fault memory.
Is it safe to clear Faure error code E02 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Faure code E02 persists, the physical component causing On Faure (Faure FRA / FRB Series / Defrost Control Fridge-Freezer) models: Deformed ice cube jamming ejector fingers, defective harvest gear motor (~2.2–3.0 kΩ coil resistance), or open ice mold heater element. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Faure code E02 using a multimeter?
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..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Faure code E02?
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.
