If your Terim beverage cooler has suddenly stopped cooling or started showing strange error codes like E1, F1, H1, or EE, don’t panic. These codes are your cooler’s way of telling you something is wrong usually with a sensor, cooling system, or airflow.

This guide will help you understand what these Terim error codes mean and what you can safely troubleshoot before calling a technician.
Whether you’re in Dubai, Sharjah, or Abu Dhabi, these fixes and explanations apply to most Terim beverage cooler models.

Common Terim Beverage Cooler Error Codes & What They Mean (UAE Models)

Terim beverage coolers are widely used in homes, cafés, offices, hotels, and restaurants across the UAE. When the system detects a fault, it displays an error code on the control panel. Below is a simple explanation of the most common ones.

1. E1, E2, A1, A2, F2, F3 – Temperature Sensor Error

Meaning: A temperature sensor is not working or giving the wrong reading.
Possible causes:

• Faulty temperature probe
• Loose or damaged wiring
• Dust or moisture affecting the sensor

Effect: The cooler may overcool or fail to cool properly.

2. EE / ER – General Sensor or Communication Fault

Meaning: The control board cannot read data from one or more sensors.
Possible causes:

• Internal wiring issues
• PCB (control board) malfunction
• Loose connectors

This error usually needs a technician to diagnose further.

3. HH / H / H1 / H2 – High Temperature Alert

Meaning: The interior temperature is too high.
Common UAE specific causes:

• Blocked air vents
• Overloading bottles
• Hot kitchen or storage area (very common in UAE homes)
• Door not sealing properly
• Compressor or fan failure

4. LL / L / L1 / L2 – Low Temperature Alert

Meaning: The cooler is excessively cold.
Causes:

• Faulty thermostat
• Stuck compressor running continuously
• Incorrect temperature settings
• Sensor malfunction

5. F1, F4, F5 – Compressor Overload or Performance Issue

Meaning: The compressor is under strain or overheating.
Causes:

• Poor ventilation (cooler placed inside a closed cabinet, very common in villas/apartments)
• Dusty condenser coils
• Weak compressor
• High ambient temperature

6. H8 – Control Board or Display Panel Error

Meaning: A fault in the PCB or display.
Causes:

• Loose wiring
• Power fluctuations
• Moisture or damaged PCB

Note: Do not attempt to open or repair PCB yourself.

What To Try Before Calling a Terim Service Technician

You can fix many minor issues yourself. Before requesting professional repair, try these steps:

1. Restart the Beverage Cooler

• Unplug the cooler
• Wait 5 minutes
• Plug back in

This simple reset often clears minor glitches.

2. Check the Door Seal

A weak or damaged gasket allows cold air to escape, leading to H1/HH errors.

Make sure:

• The door closes fully
• The rubber seal is clean
• No bottles block the door

3. Ensure Proper Ventilation

Terim beverage coolers need airflow around them.
Avoid placing them:

• Inside fully enclosed cabinets
• Directly against walls
• Beside ovens or dishwashers

Overheating is the biggest cause of cooling failure in UAE kitchens.

4. Reduce Overloading

If the shelves are tightly packed with bottles, airflow becomes restricted.
Remove a few bottles and allow the cooler to breathe.

5. Clean or Inspect Sensor Area

For E1, E2, EE, or ER errors:

• Check for loose wires (without opening the sealed system)
• Remove dust near the sensor
• Make sure the sensor is not touching ice buildup

6. Improve Compressor Cooling (F1, F4, F5)

If the compressor feels hot or the cooler runs nonstop:

• Clean the condenser coils
• Move the cooler to a cooler spot
• Give it at least 10 cm space from the back wall

If the problem persists, a technician may need to check the compressor load.

7. For H8 or Display Issues

Avoid opening the control panel.
PCB and display repairs should only be done by certified technicians.

Why Terim Coolers Fail More Often in UAE

The UAE climate affects all refrigeration appliances.
Common contributing factors:

• High ambient temperature
• Dust accumulation inside coils
