Possible Causes
Faulty super-freeze button or touch sensor, Software error in main control board, Damaged wiring between user interface and main board, Stuck relay controlling super-freeze mode
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing control electronics.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Reset control: Unplug the freezer for 10 minutes to reset the control logic. Reconnect and attempt to activate super-freeze again.
- 2. Test button/sensor: Press the super-freeze button repeatedly and observe if the indicator LED or icon responds. If there is no response while other buttons work, the specific button or touch sensor may be faulty.
- 3. Inspect user interface PCB: Remove the control panel and check for moisture, corrosion, or cracked solder joints around the super-freeze button contacts. Replace the interface if damaged.
- 4. Check relay operation: On the main board, identify the relay associated with super-freeze (often labeled). Listen for a click when activating the function. If no click and the interface is sending the command, the relay or driver circuit may be defective and the board should be replaced.
