Scholtès Refrigerator / Freezer CC

Scholtès error code CC indicates: Scholtès Pure Cold Built-in Total NoFrost Refrigerator: Status code CC indicates continuous cooling or fast freeze mode has run continuously for over 24 hours without cycling off..

The primary root cause for Scholtès code CC is: On Scholtès refrigerators (Scholtès Haute Horlogerie Culinaire sensors and micro-electronic platform architecture): Fast Freeze key left engaged, defective NTC sensor reading falsely warm temperature, or stuck compressor relay on control PCB..

To resolve error code CC: Press Fast Freeze button to deactivate mode. Verify compressor de-energizes. If compressor continues running at 230V AC with mode off, replace welded relay on control PCB. Press and hold Alarm Reset pad for 5 seconds, verify compartment display stops blinking, and allow 12h for complete stabilization.

Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Scholtès code CC persists, the physical component causing On Scholtès refrigerators (Scholtès Haute Horlogerie Culinaire sensors and micro-electronic platform architecture): Fast Freeze key left engaged, defective NTC sensor reading falsely warm temperature, or stuck compressor relay on control PCB. 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.
