Godrej E2 Error Explained: Evaporator Sensor Faults
When your AC can’t monitor the coil temperature, it locks out to prevent freezing. Learn how to pinpoint damaged thermistors and safely test your indoor PCB.

Understanding the E2 Coil Sensor Fault
The Evaporator Coil Sensor (Pipe Thermistor) is a copper-headed component tucked into a small sleeve on the indoor unit’s metal fins. It measures the temperature of the refrigerant pipes. The main PCB uses this data to prevent the indoor unit from freezing into a block of ice and to regulate the inverter compressor. If this sensor’s circuit breaks, the AC flashes E2 and completely halts cooling.
Visual Inspection & Positioning
Often, the sensor gets knocked out of place during cleaning, or mice chew the wires.
- Turn OFF the AC power.
- Open the front plastic flap and remove the dust filters.
- Look on the right side of the metal fins for a small black wire ending in a copper cylinder.
- Ensure it is tightly inserted into its copper sleeve on the U-bends. Check the wire for rat bites.
PCB Connector Security Check
The sensor connects directly to the indoor PCB. Access the PCB panel on the right side of the indoor unit. Find the coil sensor plug (often a twin plug sharing the same header as the room sensor), unplug it, check for green oxidation, and click it firmly back into place.
Test the Thermistor Resistance
If the wire is physically fine, the internal resistor has likely failed. You must test it with a multimeter.
Healthy: Reads approx. 5 kΩ or 10 kΩ (at 25°C room temp).
Faulty: Reads 0 Ω (Short Circuit) or OL / Infinite (Open Circuit). The sensor is dead and must be replaced.
Diagnose PCB Voltage Output
If the sensor reads a perfect 10 kΩ, but the E2 code won’t clear, the indoor PCB may have a blown analog-to-digital circuit. With the AC on, measure the DC voltage across the sensor pins on the board. It should output ~5V DC. If it reads 0V, the mainboard needs repair.
Estimated Repair Costs
Why Hire a Professional?
- ✓ Exact Matching: Pros install OEM sensors. A mismatched sensor curve will cause the AC to freeze over or under-cool.
- ✓ Proper Splicing: Soldering and heat-shrinking rat-chewed wires prevents future moisture shorts on the cold copper pipes.
- ✓ PCB Protection: Keeps your high-voltage inverter boards safe from accidental shorts.
DIY Risks
- ✗ Breaking brittle plastic tabs while opening the indoor unit casing.
- ✗ Short-circuiting the main microprocessor by accidentally touching multimeter probes together during live voltage testing.
Common E2 Questions
Can I bypass the E2 sensor?
No. If you bypass it, the AC doesn’t know the coil’s temperature. It will either run endlessly until it becomes a solid block of ice, or it won’t start the compressor at all.
What’s the difference between E1 and E2?
E1 usually refers to the Room Air Sensor (plastic head). E2 specifically refers to the Coil Sensor (copper head) which touches the cold pipes to prevent freezing.
Can low gas cause an E2 error?
Not directly. Low gas causes freezing, but E2 means the sensor’s electrical circuit is broken. If your AC is freezing due to low gas, the sensor might actually be working perfectly to shut it down!
Will a standard reset clear E2 permanently?
Only if a minor voltage spike confused the PCB. If a rat chewed the wire or the sensor’s internal resistor died, the E2 error will pop back up immediately when you turn it on.
