Leisure Continuous Running / Control Fault

Freezer runs continuously without cycling off, even when interior is very cold.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Thermostat stuck closed, Faulty temperature sensor, Main PCB not recognizing setpoint, Door gasket leaking causing constant heat gain

Safety: Unplug before accessing controls or sensors.

Steps:

1. Verify temperature: Use a separate thermometer to confirm actual internal temperature.
2. Check door seal: Ensure the gasket is sealing properly; replace if leaking.
3. Mechanical thermostat models: Test and replace the freezer thermostat if it does not open when cold.
4. Electronic models: Test the cabinet NTC sensor and replace if misreading.
5. If compressor still never stops: The main control PCB may have a stuck relay and require replacement.
