What P2
actually means.
A flashing P2 on a Hestan undercounter controller means the evaporator probe has failed. That sensor sits on the cold coil rather than in the open compartment. Hestan's table gives no owner remedy and sends the owner to service.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Hestan's own guidance for P2 on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Write down P2 and the model number from the rating label.
Keep an eye on the compartment temperature and on any frost forming on the inside back wall.
Book a visit and mention P2 so the evaporator probe and its wiring are checked first.
What not to do
P2 is not the thermostat probe (that is P1), and it is not a temperature alarm. HA and LA are the codes for a compartment that is too warm or too cold.
