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.
Check of the coil probe
What they doA Meaco approved technician measures the coil temperature probe and its connection and compares them with the maker's specification.
They must show youthe measured probe value against Meaco's specification.
In writingthe failing part, its reference and the reason for replacing it.
Normal dehumidifying test
What they doAfter the repair, the technician checks the unit leaves permanent defrost mode and collects water again without E1.
They must show youthe unit dehumidifying without the defrost indicator stuck on and without E1.
In writingthe test carried out and the result.

What it means
On the Meaco 12L and 20L Low Energy, Meaco defines E1 as a coil temperature error: the unit still dehumidifies but is in defrost mode only, and you are asked to contact Meaco. The cold coil temperature is watched by a probe; the code does not say whether the probe, its connection or the board has failed. On the MeacoDry Arete One 10L and 12L, E1 flashes every 30 seconds and the manual asks you to check it is not used below 15 °C, clean the dust filter and vacuum the humidity sensor on the back.
Warnings and stop conditions
- Loweditorial warning
Do not open the unit to check the probe: it sits next to the refrigerant circuit and Meaco says to contact its service.

Symptoms and causes
Probable causes · in order
- Coil temperature probe (12L, 20L, ABC)Common
Meaco describes it as a coil temperature error; the unit goes into permanent defrost. Meaco service confirms it.
Evidence: Meaco 12L and 20L Low Energy Dehumidifier/Air Purifier Instruction Manual
- Cold room (Arete One 10L and 12L)Possible
On the Arete One, the manual asks you to check it is not used in a room colder than 15 °C; you can tell because E1 clears when the room warms up.
Evidence: MeacoDry Arete One 10L and 12L Dehumidifier and Air Purifier
- Dirty filter or sensor (Arete One 10L and 12L)Possible
The same manual asks you to clean the dust filter and vacuum the rear humidity sensor; if E1 clears after cleaning, it was dirt.
