Alliance error code EC

What it means

Refrigerant leakage alarm.

Possible causes

Control algorithm detecting serious leak Very low suction pressure Sensor or wiring fault mimicking leak

Suggested fix

Switch off the system and have a technician perform thorough leak detection and pressure checks, repair and recharge as necessary; examine sensors and their wiring if EC persists without a confirmed leak.

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