How to solve the problem of e4 air conditioner
With the arrival of high temperatures in summer, the frequency of use of air conditioners has increased significantly, and the failure of e4 air conditioners has become one of the hot topics recently. Many users have reported that the air conditioner has an E4 fault code, resulting in reduced cooling performance or even failure to operate normally. This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the causes and solutions of e4 failures, and provide structured data for reference.
1. Common causes of e4 air conditioner failures

According to the maintenance data and user feedback of the entire network in the past 10 days, e4 failures are usually related to the following issues:
| Cause of failure | frequency of occurrence | Typical symptoms |
|---|---|---|
| Poor heat dissipation of outdoor unit | 45% | The outdoor fan stops/abnormal speed |
| Refrigerant leak | 25% | Cooling effect gradually deteriorates |
| Temperature sensor failure | 18% | Abnormal temperature display |
| circuit board problem | 12% | Frequent automatic shutdown |
2. Detailed solutions to e4 faults
1. Basic troubleshooting steps
• Check whether the power supply is stable (voltage should be within the range of 220V±10%)
• Clean the air conditioning filter (recommended to clean every 2 weeks)
• Confirm whether there is any obstruction around the outdoor unit (a space of more than 50cm must be maintained)
2. Professional maintenance suggestions
| Fault type | solution | Time consuming repair |
|---|---|---|
| Poor heat dissipation | Clean condenser/replace fan motor | 1-2 hours |
| Refrigerant issues | Leak detection/refrigerant replenishment | 2-3 hours |
| Sensor failure | Replace temperature sensor | 30-60 minutes |
| Circuit board damaged | Repair or replace motherboard | 2-4 hours |
3. Routine maintenance suggestions to prevent e4 failure
1.Regular maintenance:It is recommended to carry out professional maintenance every year before use.
2.Correct use:Avoid frequent power on and off in a short period of time
3.Environmental control:Keep indoor and outdoor units well ventilated
4.Voltage stability:It is recommended to use a voltage stabilizer (especially in older communities)
4. Maintenance cost reference
| Maintenance items | average market price | Within warranty period |
|---|---|---|
| Basic testing fee | 50-100 yuan | free |
| Replenish refrigerant | 150-300 yuan | Material costs are at your own expense |
| Replace sensor | 80-150 yuan | free |
| Motherboard repair | 200-500 yuan | It depends on the situation |
5. Emergency treatment methods
When an e4 failure occurs in the air conditioner, you can try the following emergency measures:
1. Shut down immediately and wait 30 minutes before restarting
2. Wipe the heat sink of the outdoor unit with a damp cloth (when the power is off)
3. Turn off other high-power electrical appliances to ensure voltage stability
4. Contact the brand after-sales service (keep the proof of purchase)
Warm reminder:The recent high temperature weather has led to a surge in demand for air conditioning repairs, so it is recommended to make an appointment for service in advance. According to data from the entire network, 10:00-12:00 and 14:00-17:00 are the peak hours for repair requests.
