How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing control panels or boards.
Steps:
- Check user settings: Attempt to activate super-freeze according to the user manual. Confirm the indicator light or icon responds.
- Power cycle: Unplug for 5 minutes and retry. If AL13 returns, continue.
- Inspect user interface: Remove the front control panel. Check the super-freeze button or touchpad for physical damage or stuck operation.
- Check UI-to-main-board harness: Ensure the ribbon cable or harness is fully seated at both ends.
- If UI is functional: The relay or output circuit on the main control board that drives super-freeze may be faulty. Replace the main control board.
