Possible Causes
Thermistor reading too warm, Door gasket leak, Control board relay stuck closed, Ambient temperature very high
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before testing sensors or boards.
- Check actual temperature: Use a thermometer to confirm interior temperature. If it is at or below the setpoint, continuous running indicates a control issue.
- Inspect gasket and door closure: Repair any leaks that cause warm air infiltration.
- Test thermistor: Replace if it reads incorrectly and always indicates a warm condition.
- Control board relay: If the compressor remains on even when the control should be satisfied, the main control board relay may be stuck and the board should be replaced.
