Possible Causes
Thermostat set too low, Faulty temperature sensor reading too warm, Air leaks at door gasket, Control board not terminating cooling cycle
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: None beyond normal precautions; no live work required for basic checks.
Steps:
- Increase the temperature setting slightly (warmer) and monitor if the compressor begins to cycle.
- Inspect and replace damaged door gaskets to prevent warm air ingress.
- Check and test the cabinet NTC sensor; replace if readings are incorrect.
- If sensors and seals are good but the compressor still never stops, the main control board may be faulty and require replacement.
