How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the freezer before accessing internal panels.

Steps:

  • 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.
