Error EH on Teka refrigerators

What error EH means on a Teka refrigerator

Error EH on Teka refrigerators is usually related to a humidity sensor fault. In other words: the unit is not receiving a valid reading from the sensor that measures humidity (or that reading is out of range), so it shows the warning.

This sensor is typically used to help optimize operation in specific areas (for example, fresh-food drawers or condensation management), so the fault often results in:

  • Messages/alarms on the display, sometimes with beeps
  • More visible condensation than normal or changes in preservation behavior (depending on the model)
  • In some cases, apparently normal operation but with the error active

In short: EH usually means the refrigerator has lost a reliable humidity reference. It doesn’t always mean “it isn’t cooling,” but it does mean the control loses information needed to regulate certain modes or functions.

How to clear EH and what to check so it doesn’t come back

To resolve EH, it’s best to start with the safe basics: a full reset and reducing conditions that promote condensation. If the error remains, it typically requires checking the sensor and its connections.

  1. Perform a complete power reset
    • Unplug the refrigerator or switch off the circuit breaker
    • Wait 5–10 minutes
    • Power it back on and see if the code clears

    If EH was a temporary control state, this step may clear it.

  2. Check door sealing and moisture entry
    • Make sure the door closes properly and the gasket seals correctly
    • Clean the gasket if dirt is preventing a good seal
    • Avoid long door openings for a while so the inside can stabilize
  3. Reduce internal humidity/condensation (if present)
    • Wipe away any visible droplets/condensation
    • Don’t place hot food inside uncovered: it creates steam and raises humidity
    • If you’ve just cleaned the interior, let it dry thoroughly

    This won’t “fix” a failed sensor, but it helps prevent odd readings caused by excessive humidity or direct condensation on the sensor area.

  4. Check whether the error is constant or intermittent
    • EH stays on after a reset: usually points to the sensor or a connection
    • EH comes and goes: consistent with a loose connection, moisture at a connector, or a damaged wire
  5. When it’s best to call a technician
    • EH returns after a full reset and won’t clear
    • You notice persistent abnormal condensation or clear changes in food preservation
    • The display behaves oddly or additional related warnings appear

    In that case, the usual approach is to check the humidity sensor, its connectors, and wiring continuity. If everything checks out, the electronics interpreting the signal are evaluated.

If EH was a one-off, a reset and stabilizing humidity may be enough. If it persists, the most effective solution is usually to inspect the humidity sensor and its connections to restore a stable reading
