Everchill Refrigerator: “Indicator lights 2 and 3 on (not flashing)”
info RV refrigerator error codes
What it means
Not a fault. Lights 2 and 3 lit steadily mean the panel's Power Off function is active — someone has switched the cooling off at the control panel. The fridge has power, the panel is lit, the light comes on when the door opens, and nothing is cooling, which is exactly what a failed fridge looks like from the outside. Pressing the corresponding key to leave the Power Off function restores normal operation.
Most likely causes
- Power Off function switched on at the temperature control panel, deliberately or by accident most likely
- Panel key pressed while cleaning or while loading the fridge common
- Left in Power Off after winterising or storage and not switched back on common
Safe checks you can do yourself
- Check whether the lights are steady or flashing. Steady is the Power Off state; flashing is a fault. This one distinction separates a two-second fix from a service call, and the panel gives no other clue.
- Press the corresponding key on the temperature control panel to exit the Power Off function, then confirm the compressor starts within a minute or two.
- If the lights are actually flashing rather than lit, read the fault indications instead — flashing lights 2 and 3 are read by the service manual as a defrost sensor fault.
How to reset / clear Indicator lights 2 and 3 on (not flashing)
- Press the key on the control panel that exits the Power Off function.
- Confirm cooling starts and the panel returns to its normal display.
When to call a technician
The Power Off function has been exited, the panel shows normal operation, and the compressor still does not run after several minutes.
Accuracy notes
Lippert's own service manual describes the panel two different ways, and they do not line up. The "Fault Display" table on page 8 assigns meanings to single lights — light 1 refrigerator sensor, 2 ambient sensor, 3 defrost sensor, 4 undervoltage, 5 overvoltage, and lights 1 and 3 together for a fan failure. The service section on pages 19-22 instead reads pairs: lights 1 and 2 for the refrigerator temp sensor in the wind channel, 2 and 3 for the defrost sensor, 3 and 4 for the freezer fan, and all lights for an under/over voltage event. Both readings are reproduced on this site because both are in the manufacturer's document; which one your panel follows appears to depend on the board and firmware revision. Count carefully how many lights are flashing before ordering a part — the pair readings come with concrete component checks, so they are the more useful place to start when two lights are flashing.
