ERDH · Defrost Heater Fault

The controller is not seeing the expected response from the defrost heater. That can lead to ice build-up, reduced cooling, and a service repair.

Safe first steps

  1. Monitor temperatures in both the fridge and freezer compartments and move sensitive food if cooling is unstable.
  2. Do not rely on repeated restarts as a permanent fix because they may only mask the fault temporarily.
  3. If the code returns after a short restart, book authorized service for the defrost system.

When to stop

  • Stop if food temperatures rise outside a safe range.
  • Stop if you notice a burning smell or see damaged wiring inside the appliance.

Likely cause

A fault in the defrost heater, sensor, or related wiring is likely.
