My cube works on heat but not on cool - it will give the E3 error code. I ran it for 8 years without cleaning it and there was a considerable amount of gunk inside the reservoir. I ran the cleaning cycle for 24 hours on the highest temperature and the gunk seems to be gone. However if I run it on cool it will get super hot and give out the E3 error code - also it smells very hot and almost like an electrical fire in there. The fan runs on heat but not on cool. Im comfortable opening it up but I don’t know which part to replace, any ideas?
I think you meant F3, not E3? Try your luck calling Chilipad to find out more, as it does not look like any of the other users have had that error yet. Please report if they tell you, we need that info!
I just got the same error message on my machine. E3, it’s an older model. May I ask what fan you purchased? And is there a way to clean the reservoir? Mine has gunk, but I can’t run the cleaning cycle because the machine isn’t operating.
