Samuel McclureAug 4, 2025
If your Sharp Freezer displays the error code E09, it likely occurred after a long-term power failure. Here's what to do: 1. Set the freezer to a colder temperature or activate Super Freeze. This should clear the error once the required temperature is reached. Keep the doors closed to speed up the process. 2. Remove any food that has thawed or defrosted. Use it soon. 3. Wait until the correct temperature is reached and the error is gone before adding fresh food. If the error persists, contact the Sharp help desk.
