DCS Refrigerator Error Codes

DCS Refrigerator Error Code CH

The CH error code on a DCS refrigerator indicates that the temperature in the evaporator is too high.

This can be caused by a number of factors, including:

  • A problem with the evaporator fan: The evaporator fan is responsible for circulating air through the evaporator coils. If the fan is not working properly, it can cause the evaporator coils to overheat.
  • A problem with the evaporator coils: The evaporator coils are responsible for absorbing heat from the air in the refrigerator. If the coils are dirty or damaged, they can’t absorb heat as effectively.
  • A problem with the thermostat: The thermostat is responsible for controlling the temperature in the refrigerator. If the thermostat is not working properly, it can cause the refrigerator to run too warm.

Symptoms of the CH Error Code

There are a few symptoms that can indicate the CH error code. These include:

  • Food in the refrigerator is not cooling properly.
  • The refrigerator is frost-free, but there is frost buildup on the evaporator coils.
  • The refrigerator is noisy.

Troubleshooting the CH Error Code

If you see the CH error code on your DCS refrigerator, you can try the following troubleshooting steps:

  1. Check the evaporator fan: Make sure that the evaporator fan is turning on and off properly. You can do this by listening for the fan running or by checking the fan blades for obstructions.
  2. Check the evaporator coils: Clean the evaporator coils with a vacuum cleaner or a brush. If the coils are damaged, they will need to be replaced.
  3. Check the thermostat: Test the thermostat to make sure that it is working properly. You can do this by using a multimeter to measure the resistance of the thermostat.

If you have checked all of these things and the CH error code is still present, you will need to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

Here are some additional things to keep in mind about the CH error code:

  • The CH error code is a serious issue that can lead to spoiled food. If you see the error code, it is important to take action immediately.
  • If you are not comfortable troubleshooting the CH error code yourself, it is best to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

By understanding the symptoms, causes, and troubleshooting steps for the CH error code, you can help to keep your DCS refrigerator in good working order.
