Possible Causes
Corrupted configuration memory on PCB, Power surge damage, Faulty main control board, Poor PCB grounding
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing the control board.
- Power reset: Disconnect power for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge and memory to reset.
- Check power quality: Ensure the freezer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a faulty extension lead. Avoid outlets with known power issues.
- Inspect PCB: Access the main control board and look for obvious damage or corrosion.
- Board replacement: If F5 persists after reset and there is no visible wiring issue, the Balay main control board will likely need replacement.
Memory-related faults are internal to the PCB and not user-serviceable; contact a qualified technician.
