How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before working on the control board or compressor wiring.

  • Check compressor wiring: Inspect the harness from the control board to the compressor for damage or loose connectors.
  • Inspect control board: Look for a burnt or cracked compressor relay on the PCB.
  • Listen for relay click: When the unit calls for cooling, you should hear a relay click. If not, the relay or control logic may be faulty.
  • Replace control board: If the relay is damaged or not operating, replace the main control board with the correct Hotpoint-Ariston module.
