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.
