Midea Refrigerator Error Code E2
Freezer temperature sensor fault
Common Causes
- 1Open or shorted freezer thermistor
- 2Ice encasing the sensor tip
- 3Sensor connector loose at the board
- 4Thermistor drifted out of tolerance
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Unplug the freezer and find the thermistor mounted near the evaporator behind the rear freezer panel
- 2
Clear any ice encasing the sensor bulb, since a frozen-in probe reads a false value and trips E2
- 3
Measure the thermistor resistance against its rated curve and replace it if the reading is open or shorted
- 4
Reseat the connector at the board and inspect the lead for a break where it exits the freezer liner
- 5
Restore power and verify the freezer pulls down to its set point after the sensor tests good
Pro Diagnostic Tip
On Midea freezers a defrost fault that lets ice build around the evaporator will bury the freezer sensor and throw E2 secondarily — clear the ice and check the defrost system before condemning the thermistor.
