How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the appliance before removing the control panel.

  • Check fast-freeze button: Press the button firmly and verify that the indicator light (if present) responds. If the button feels stuck or loose, the switch may be faulty.
  • Inspect control panel: Remove the panel and check for cracked solder joints or damaged tracks around the fast-freeze switch.
  • Power reset: Reconnect power and test the function again after a reset.

When to call a technician: If F3 remains and fast-freeze does not engage, the control board may require replacement.
