Possible Causes
Loose or intermittent temperature sensor connection, Faulty thermostat, Control board logic fault, Poor air circulation due to blocked vents
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before accessing sensors or the control board.
- Check loading: Avoid blocking air vents inside your Fagor freezer with large packages. Allow space for air circulation.
- Inspect sensor wiring: Ensure the cabinet sensor connector is firmly seated and wires are not damaged.
- Replace thermostat/sensor: If temperature swings are large and random, replace the thermostat (mechanical models) or NTC sensor (electronic models) with OEM parts.
- Control board: Persistent instability after sensor replacement may indicate a faulty control board that needs replacement.
