Freezer sensor fault

Unplug the refrigerator and remove the freezer rear panel to reach the sensor on the evaporator
Check for heavy frost around the sensor, which hints at a companion defrost fault
Measure the freezer NTC resistance cold — an open reading confirms a bad sensor
Inspect the wiring along the evaporator to the board connector
Replace the freezer sensor, and if it was iced, investigate the defrost circuit too
Pro Diagnostic Tip
A frost-buried freezer sensor usually means defrost also failed. Replacing only the sensor and ignoring the frost cause brings E2 back within weeks.
