Diagnostic steps
Identify the affected probe
E4 reports the named probe as faulty (reading out of range, short-circuited or open). Note which probe input it maps to on this unit.
Inspect the probe wiring
With power isolated, check the probe's lead and connector for an open or short-circuit and reseat any loose/corroded terminal.
Verify and replace the probe
Confirm the correct NTC probe type; if wiring is sound, replace the probe. The alarm clears once the controller reads it in range.
When to call a professional
Electrical access is reserved for qualified personnel; if the wiring is sound have a qualified refrigeration technician replace the probe and re-verify regulation.
