Alliance error code E3

What it means

Refrigerant leak or low capacity protection.

Possible causes

System undercharge from leakage Incorrect charge during installation Restriction leading to low evaporator temperature

Suggested fix

A technician should confirm low capacity with gauges and temperature clamps, perform leak detection and repair, and then recharge accurately by weight; re-test operation before clearing the alarm.

Safety first. Isolate the power supply before inspecting any unit. Refrigerant-circuit and electrical repairs must be carried out by a qualified, registered technician.
