How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing the control board.

Steps:

  • 1. Power cycle: Unplug the freezer for at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge, then reconnect.
  • 2. Check outlet: Verify the wall outlet is properly grounded and not shared with heavy-load appliances that cause voltage dips.
  • 3. Surge protection: Consider using a surge protector or voltage stabilizer suitable for refrigerators/freezers.
  • 4. If H91 persists: The main control PCB's memory or firmware may be corrupted. Replacement of the PCB is typically required and may need configuration by a Panasonic technician.
