How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: You can troubleshoot with power on; avoid contact with live terminals.

  • Silence alarm: Press the alarm reset or any control button to silence the alarm temporarily.
  • Check door and gasket: Ensure the door is fully closed and the gasket is sealing. Correct any obstructions or misalignment.
  • Verify temperature: Use a thermometer to check actual freezer temperature. If high, follow high temperature troubleshooting (clean coils, check fan, etc.).
  • Test door switch: Press the door switch manually; the interior light should turn off. Replace the switch if it does not operate correctly.
  • Sensor check: If the alarm persists with normal temperature and a good door switch, test the freezer thermistor and replace if faulty.
