What E22
actually means.
A True head sets a maximum length for each freeze cycle. When a cycle runs past 40 minutes the control logs E22, and True's service steps go straight to whether the compressor is running and what the high- and low-side pressures read.

What to do when E22 shows on the ice machineKind of codeCooling system
The board saw temperatures or pressures that the sealed system should never reach: a discharge line too hot, a suction side that never cools, or a compressor that starts and stops on its overload. A dirty condenser can push a healthy system into this family, so it is the first thing to rule out; a low charge, a leak or a tired compressor is not. On many current machines that system holds R-290, which is flammable, and only a technician opens it.
Usually leads toIce machine compressor and sealed system repair
The compressor, its start parts and the sealed system, including machines on flammable R-290, tested for pressure and leaks and repaired by the maker's procedure.
Shows up asIce Machine Error Code or Flashing Light: What It Is Telling You
An ice machine error code may show as a number on a small display, a pattern of blinking lights on the control board, a colored light on the front, or a machine that stops with one indicator flashing.

True ice machine visits begin with the installation: the supply, the drain fall and the clearance the machine needs to cool.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from True Residential's own guidance for E22 on its ice machines. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Confirm the head has power and the condenser fan is turning.
Wash the air filter and clear space around the head, since a hot condenser lengthens freeze time.
Book a visit if E22 repeats; the compressor and system pressures need gauges, and the system holds R-290, which is not something to open yourself.

What not to do
E22 is about freezing time, not about harvest; ice that forms but will not drop is E26 or E31. A slow freeze with the sump short of water may show E27 or E29 first.

about E22.
Can I clear E22 myself?
Does E22 mean my True compressor has failed?
Why are my cubes thin when E22 appears?
Is it safe to keep using ice from a True with E22?

A booking with a code goes further when it carries the light or code copied as it appeared, the model and serial off the data plate, and a word on whether cubes still fall into the bin. With those three in hand, our office can match the probable part to your machine the same afternoon.
