Possible Causes

Intermittent temperature sensor connection, Faulty main control module, Poor door sealing causing frequent warm air ingress, Evaporator fan intermittently failing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before accessing internal components.

Steps:

  • 1. Check door usage and seal: Avoid frequent long openings. Inspect and replace the door gasket if it does not seal properly.
  • 2. Inspect sensor wiring: Access the freezer NTC sensor and gently tug on the wiring to check for loose connections. Reseat connectors on both sensor and control board.
  • 3. Test evaporator fan: Ensure the fan runs consistently when the compressor is on and the door is closed. Replace the fan motor if it stops intermittently.
  • 4. Control module: If all hardware is sound but fluctuations persist, the main control module may be misregulating and should be replaced.
