Furrion refrigerator code E3

Furrion documentation describes E3 separately for each model line: Furrion Arctic 10.6 cu. ft. 12V (FCR11DCGTA) (“Compressor motor is stuck or system pressure is too high”); Furrion Arctic 10.7 cu. ft. French door (FCR10DCGFA) (“Freezer sensor failure”). Compare the wording for your model below.

Check your model first. The same code can mean different things on different models. Find the model number on the appliance's data label, then use the matching row below.

What you can safely check

  • Record the code and freezer temperature.
  • Do not repeatedly power-cycle after a compressor fault.

Stop and call a technician for

  • Sensor, fan, compressor, inverter, communication wiring, model-mismatch, and sealed-system diagnostics should be handled by Furrion support or a qualified RV refrigerator technician.

Disconnect power before refrigerator service. Do not open electrical compartments, compressor wiring, inverter wiring, fans, sensors, or refrigerant systems unless qualified.
