How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing sensors or control boards.
- Monitor with a thermometer: Place an accurate freezer thermometer inside and log readings over 24–48 hours to confirm fluctuations.
- Check loading and airflow: Avoid blocking air vents with packages. Do not overpack the freezer.
- Inspect sensor connections: Reseat the cabinet sensor connector at both the sensor and control board ends.
- Replace suspect sensor: If tapping or moving the sensor wiring causes temperature reading jumps, replace the sensor.
If fluctuations persist, the control board may have intermittent relay or logic faults requiring professional diagnosis.
