Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before removing the control panel or touching internal wiring.
- Step 1 – Check for stuck buttons: Gently press each button on the control panel to ensure none are stuck or physically jammed.
- Step 2 – Dry moisture: If condensation or spills have reached the panel, allow it to dry completely. Do not use high heat.
- Step 3 – Inspect and reseat ribbon cable: Remove the control panel trim, disconnect the ribbon cable between the UI and main control, then reconnect firmly.
If F2 remains, the user interface control assembly likely needs replacement. This is a moderate repair that may be handled by an experienced DIYer but is often best left to a technician.
