I just installed a Love TSX3-500122 and in keeps giving me an EP2 error. What do I do to fix this. The instruction sheet tells what the error is (probe error) but the probe is hooked up and does register the temperature. Apparently it has something to do with defrost??? Please help! Thanks.

EP2 means defrost probe #2 bad (open, shorted, etc.) or wiring problem.
Display and compare probe #1 temp to probe #2 without removing the probes, should be the same if placed close to each other.
Are both probes the same type?
Post wiring pics.

When I ordered it the customer service lady said I only needed 1 probe. I questioned It since there were two hookup spots.
Wiring for the power side:
White - neutral (6)
Black - incoming power from the backside of the original freezer controller (7)
Green - jumper from power to one leg of open contact (7) to (8)
Green - from other side of open contact to compressor (9)
Wiring for probe:
Probe wires - neutral and probe hookup 1 (3) and (4)
Where should the other probe hook to?
Sorry, new here and still figuring the site out. Not sure how to post pics yet. Thank you for the help!

To get you going set P6 to NO
Temp probe #2 connects to terminal 2 & 3 if your set-up requires it.
Why did you pick the TSX3 series over the TS?

Ok, I'll try it. Thanks.
I used this controller because of a design on here and in the last BYO magazine. It showed using a TSX-10140 but I was told it was no longer available and this was the replacement for it.
So 1 probe on 2-3 and the other on 3-4 correct?

Can you change any parameters?
If yes lets try this first, set d2 to 0 (disables defrost)
Now try P6.
The TS or TSS2 series would have been a better choice for your application.

Fellas, do you have a diagram for this.. i bought one for my freezer and i'm thinking i'm straight with the wiring... but i dont want to blow anything and want to get it right the first time.. I have the tsx3-500122 and I want to do the following:
1. Run one plug to the wall from the unit for power.
2. Run the relay to an outlet on the back side of the fridge where i'll have the Compressor and a small wall-wart that will power my 9v fan.
Any help appreciated... if you can use actual numbers from the panel on the back that would be great and easy.

thanks... well i hope i can get it... If i do i'll post a detailed diagram... i just thought the the "blue" LED would be better considering its for cooling than the red LED.
i know there's someone here that can help.. mine is throwing a CP2 error aswell.. i'm wondering if i have to jump the thermoter from 1/2 into 3/4??

i think your wiring is wrong.
500122 is the TWO output model, correct?

you should be following the middle diagram.
Probe 1 goes across 2&3
FYI
just got my tsx3 and had the probe 2 error.
Changing these parameters as Cladius instructed fixed the problem. Once d12 is set to SD1 the unit no longer requires an SD2 input. At that point you can change P6 to NO.
this's a very sexy unit btw
