  2. If EC50 and Service flashing appear on the control panel and temperatures are near normal, first Clean the condenser.
  3. After cleaning the condenser, press and hold the door ajar alarm key (bell) on the control panel for 15 seconds to clear the error code. Do not clear the error code if temperatures are not near normal or temperatures do not return to normal, or continue to rise. If a service call is required, the error code helps service verify the cause of the problem.

Even if unit has worked like this for years, it can cause issues including sealed system failure. Refer to the Sub-Zero Design Guide for design specifications.
