In brief
Fault code E2 on Gree gmv6 ultra heat mini heat pump 208 230v service manual — gmv means: Fault code E2 on Gree air conditioning units indicates anti-freeze protection activated when the evaporator pipe temperature drops below the safety threshold. This protection activates during cooling or dry modes to prevent evaporator freezing by stopping the compressor and outdoor fan while keeping the indoor fan running. Most common cause: The main cause is an evaporator temperature that is too low due to insufficient airflow (dirty filters, poor air circulation, blocked fan or abnormal speed) or a lack of refrigerant. First action: Inspect and clean the indoor unit filters and evaporator.. Call a registered engineer if the fault returns after basic checks or involves refrigerant work (F-Gas registered engineer required).
According to Gree service documentation, the E2 code activates anti-freeze protection when the evaporator pipe temperature drops below the safety threshold.

What does fault code E2 on Gree mean?
Fault code E2 on Gree air conditioning units indicates anti-freeze protection activated when the evaporator pipe temperature drops below the safety threshold. This protection activates during cooling or dry modes to prevent evaporator freezing by stopping the compressor and outdoor fan while keeping the indoor fan running.
The main cause is an evaporator temperature that is too low due to insufficient airflow (dirty filters, poor air circulation, blocked fan or abnormal speed) or a lack of refrigerant.
Symptômes
- Display of code E2 on the indoor unit (IDU) or outdoor unit (ODU) screen.
- Flashing of the operation indicator.
- Compressor and outdoor fan stop.
- Indoor fan continues to run.
- Cooling and Heating mode indicators are off.
Diagnostic
1. Check cleanliness and airflow
- Inspect and clean the indoor unit filters and evaporator.
- Ensure airflow is not obstructed and the return air is free.
- Confirm the indoor fan and its motor are working correctly.
2. Check the refrigerant system
- Check for refrigerant leaks in the system.
- Verify if the refrigerant charge is insufficient.
How to reset fault code E2 on Gree?
Start by cleaning the filters and evaporator of the indoor unit to ensure optimal airflow. If the problem persists, check the indoor fan operation and fan speed. If a lack of refrigerant is suspected, look for leaks and recharge the system with the appropriate refrigerant.
When should you call an F-Gas engineer?
This code appears during cooling or drying operations. The system stops the compressor and outdoor fan while keeping the indoor fan running to prevent evaporator freezing. It is crucial to check if the compressor stop is a consequence
Affected models
- Flexx Ultra R32
- X-Pac R32
- Livo Plus 30k/36k
- All Match Floor Ceiling R32
- High Static Slim Duct

Technical source data
The E2 code on Gree units (Flexx Ultra, X-Pac, Livo Plus, All Match) activates anti-freeze protection when the evaporator pipe temperature drops below the safety threshold (Extract 1, 7). Diagnosis depends on the communication mode: in 24V mode, the IDU board evaluates the temperature via switch SA1 (position 3 to 0), while in RS485 mode, the ODU board determines activation (Extract 1). Identified causes include insufficient airflow due to dirty filters, reduced air circulation volume, blocked indoor fan or abnormal speed, as well as a lack of refrigerant. In case of too low ambient temperature, protection triggers by pressure drop; the solution is then to increase the indoor fan speed (Extract 1, 7).

Questions fréquentes
Why does the compressor stop during a code E2?
When anti-freeze protection (code E2) activates during cooling or drying, the system deliberately cuts the compressor and outdoor fan to stop the cooling cycle. The indoor fan continues to run to melt any ice on the evaporator and prevent frost damage. This is a standard safety measure, but
How to distinguish a dirty filter cause from a lack of refrigerant?
Start by cleaning the filters and evaporator of the indoor unit and check the indoor fan operation. If the problem persists after confirming good airflow, suspect a refrigerant leak. A low charge causes low evaporation pressure, leading to evaporator freezing. In this case, look for leaks and recharge the system with
What to do if error E2 appears in very cold weather?
If the ambient temperature of the indoor and outdoor units is too low, the condensation and evaporation pressure drops, which can trigger anti-freeze protection even with a healthy system. In this specific scenario, the recommended procedure is to increase the indoor fan speed to improve heat transfer and prevent freezing, rather than immediately searching for
