How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing the control panel.
Steps to restore display:
- Check for button response: Press temperature buttons and listen for beeps or changes in compressor operation. If the unit responds, only the display is affected.
- Access display board: Remove the front control panel cover and inspect the display PCB and connectors.
- Reseat connectors: Disconnect and reconnect the harness between the display and main board.
- Replace display board: If wiring is intact but the display remains blank, replace the user interface / display board.
- Control board: If the display receives no power from the main board, the main control board may also need replacement.
Tip: Label connectors or take photos before disassembly to ensure correct reassembly.
