Safety first
Stop and check this first
- With E2 the appliance may not control cooling properly: watch the temperature with a thermometer until the visit and decide about food using official guidance.
Safe checks you can perform
- Details for the service centre
- Actual fridge temperature
- Sensor and wiring measurement
Leave these tasks to a qualified professional

What a technician must be able to justify
Technician visit
These are the steps they must carry out and show you. Tick them as they work: if steps are skipped, do not accept a part swap.
These are not instructions for opening or handling the equipment yourself. They are the checks that should support a technical conclusion.
Sensor and wiring measurement
What they doThe technician uses a multimeter on the sensor and its wiring with the power off.
They must show youmeasured values against specification and a photo of the connector.
In writingthe faulty sensor or section, any replaced part with its reference and the reason.
Reading check after the repair
What they doThe technician compares the temperature the appliance shows with their own thermometer and checks the code does not return.
They must show youdisplayed against measured temperature.
In writingvalues, test time and date.
Before accepting a part or repair
Nothing has been shown yet. Do not accept a part swap based on the code alone.
Follow these steps
Note: Follow the documented order. An error code identifies the affected system, but it does not prove by itself which part has failed.
Details for the service centre
- Who:
- you, no tools.
- How:
- note the code and the model from the rating plate inside the appliance.
- Result that matters:

Actual fridge temperature
- Who:
- you, with a fridge thermometer.
- How:
- measure the fridge compartment; the Food Standards Agency says it should be between 0 and 5°C and recommends using a thermometer.
- Result that matters:
- whether the appliance keeps cooling despite the code.
- If it is between 0 and 5°C:
- cooling works for now; check daily until the visit.
- If it goes above 5°C:
- tell the service and decide about food using official guidance.
- Evidence to keep:
- a photo of the thermometer with date and time.

Sensor and wiring measurement
- Who:
- a service technician.
- How:
- with the appliance disconnected, they measure the sensor and its wiring to the electronics.
- Result that matters:
- whether the sensor, cable or electronics are out of specification.
- If the sensor reads out of specification:
- it confirms replacing it.
- If the sensor is fine:
- the fault is in the wiring or electronics.
- Evidence to keep:
- measured values against the manufacturer specification.
The appliance runs at mains voltage. Only the technician opens and measures it.

What it means
Indesit defines E2 as a freezer sensor fault (freezer sensor fault). That sensor tells the electronics the freezer temperature so it can control cooling. A fault can be in the sensor itself, its wiring or the electronics input that reads it, and the code does not separate them. So E2 is not enough to replace a part without measuring. Indesit gives no user steps: it recommends calling the service centre.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Freezer sensorPossible
Only confirmed by measuring the sensor with the power off and comparing with the manufacturer specification.
