Possible Causes
Thermostat set too low, Warm ambient temperature or poor ventilation, Door gasket leaking cold air, Sensor or thermostat miscalibrated
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before internal checks; external checks can be done with power on.
Steps:
- 1. Adjust temperature: Set the thermostat to a slightly warmer setting and monitor over 24 hours.
- 2. Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the freezer and clean the condenser.
- 3. Check gasket: Perform a paper test by closing the door on a sheet of paper; if it pulls out easily, the seal is weak. Replace the gasket if needed.
- 4. Sensor/thermostat: If running continuously despite very low internal temperature, test and replace the thermostat or sensor/PCB as required.
