Freezer interior temperature fluctuates widely, causing soft and hard spots in food

Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing internal panels.

Steps:

• 1. Organize load: Avoid blocking air vents with large packages. Leave space for air to circulate around items.
• 2. Check fan operation: Listen for the evaporator fan when the compressor is running. If silent, follow the fan motor diagnostic steps.
• 3. Sensor position: Ensure the thermistor is not directly in the airflow from the fan or touching the evaporator heater.
• 4. Monitor: After adjustments, monitor temperature with a thermometer placed in different areas.
