Possible Causes

Faulty temperature sensor, Control board hysteresis issues, Frequent door openings, Poor air circulation due to overloading

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Avoid storing highly perishable items until temperature stability is restored.

  • Monitor with thermometer: Place a thermometer inside and log temperature over 24 hours to confirm fluctuations.
  • Improve loading: Avoid blocking vents and leave space between items for air circulation.
  • Reduce door openings: Limit how often and how long the door is opened.
  • Check sensor and control: Test and replace the cabinet temperature sensor if readings are erratic. If fluctuations persist, the main control board may be mismanaging compressor cycles.

Persistent large swings (more than 5–7°C) despite good usage habits should be evaluated by a technician.
