Samsung E443 Error Code: Refrigerant Leak
Revision Date: 1/24/2025
Models: DVMS, ECO, CHILLER, WATER
Tech Support: (888)-699-6067 (7am to 6pm CST, M-F)
Judgement Method
Error E443 occurs if the compressor is idle and the pressure is below 14 PSIG on the low side.
Troubleshooting Steps
- Connect manifold gauges to the system and verify standing pressure compared to ambient temperature using a PT chart.
- Connect a laptop and open Samsung service software (Snet Pro2).
- Verify manifold gauges and Snet service software readings match. If they do not match, test pressure transducers. Refer to the low- and high-pressure transducer charts below.
- If standing pressure is below 14 PSIG while the system is idle, place the system in vacuum mode. Pressure test the system to 500 PSIG with dry nitrogen and test for leaks.
- Locate and repair leaks. Conduct the triple evacuation process and weigh in the charge per the install manual or DVM pro file.
*Molex connection on the circuit board may be in a different location across models.
*Check the wiring diagram to ensure proper location.
