Freezer cycles on and off frequently, with short run times and fluctuating temperature.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting sensors or accessing controls.

• Check ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the Candy freezer and that warm air can escape from the condenser area.
• Inspect sensor placement: Access the cabinet sensor and verify it is positioned as designed, not touching the evaporator or walls directly unless specified.
• Stabilize load: Avoid frequent door openings and large warm food loads that can cause rapid temperature changes.
• Replace faulty sensor: If the NTC sensor is reading erratically (test with a multimeter at stable temperatures), replace it.
• Control board replacement: If cycling remains abnormal with a good sensor and proper ventilation, the main control board may be misregulating and require replacement.

Warning: Excessive short cycling can damage the compressor over time; address the cause promptly.
