Freezer temperature fluctuates widely; sometimes too warm, sometimes overly cold.
Safety Warning
This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.
If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.
Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing sensors or control boards.
Verify settings:
- Check that the set temperature is appropriate (typically around -18°C).
- Disable super-freeze or holiday modes if active.
Check sensor placement:
- Locate the cabinet NTC sensor behind the liner or in a sensor housing.
- Ensure it is properly clipped in place and not hanging loose or touching the evaporator directly.
Test sensor:
- Disconnect the sensor and measure resistance at a known temperature; compare to expected NTC values.
Corrective actions:
- Reposition sensor: Secure the sensor in the correct location away from direct airflow from vents.
- Replace sensor: If readings are unstable or out of range, install a new Blomberg-compatible NTC sensor.
- If fluctuations persist with a good sensor, the main control board may be regulating poorly and require replacement.
Test: Monitor temperature with an accurate thermometer over several days to confirm stability.
