Elitech ETC-902 error codes
| Code | Meaning | Likely cause | How to reset |
|---|---|---|---|
| E1 | Probe fault | Probe type does not match H00, wiring fault, or failed probe | Compressor runs on the Ont / OFt cycle. Check H00 first, then measure the probe resistance. |
| (alarm icon) | Out of range or probe fault | Temperature out of range, or probe fault | Any key mutes the buzzer (buzzer is a factory option). |
| dLY / DLn | Copy card load passed / failed | Card inserted with power off, then power on | DLn: reseat the card and try again. |
