Possible Causes

Faulty cabinet temperature sensor, Sensor not in correct position, Control board miscalibration, Alarm circuit fault on display PCB

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing sensors or control electronics.

Verify actual temperature:

  • Place a separate freezer thermometer in the middle shelf and leave for several hours.
  • Compare the reading to the displayed temperature.

Inspect sensor:

  • Locate the cabinet NTC sensor and ensure it is properly mounted.
  • Check wiring for damage or loose connections.

Corrective actions:

  • Replace sensor: If the sensor is out of spec or giving erratic readings, install a new Blomberg-compatible NTC.
  • Reset control: Disconnect power for 10 minutes to reset the control logic.
  • If the alarm persists despite correct temperature and a good sensor, the main PCB or display PCB may be faulty and require replacement.

Test: After repair, monitor the alarm behavior over 24–48 hours.
