Sensor Fault on Your ChillerUpdated 2 hours ago
If your chiller displays a sensor fault, it means one of the internal sensors that monitors temperature or pressure has stopped reading correctly, and the unit has shut down to protect itself. This is a hardware message, not something caused by anything you've done.
What you'll see
Depending on your model, the display will show either:
- A temperature sensor fault (shown as E1 on the Ultra X2 and Acrylic, or named by probe such as T1, T3 on the Ultra Max and Ultra Ice), or
- A pressure-related fault (on larger units), which relates to the sealed refrigeration system
What to do
- Power the unit off at the wall and wait 30 seconds.
- Power it back on. A temporary glitch will often clear with this reset.
- If the fault clears, you're good to go, keep an eye on it over the next few sessions.
- If the fault returns, the sensor needs reseating or replacing. This isn't a user repair, so please contact our support team with your order details and the exact code shown.
Please don't
- Open or dismantle the unit. The sensors and refrigeration system are internal and sealed opening the chiller can be unsafe and may affect your warranty.
- Keep resetting repeatedly if the fault keeps coming back. A recurring fault means a part needs attention, and repeated resets won't fix it.
When to contact us
Get in touch if the fault returns after a reset, or if you see any pressure-related alarm. Have your order number and the exact code or alarm name ready it helps our technical team diagnose faster. Most sensor issues are resolved with a replacement part under warranty.
