Possible Causes

Faulty thermostat or control board, Intermittent temperature sensor, Poor door seal, Overloading blocking air circulation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before testing sensors or accessing the control board.

  • 1. Check loading and airflow: Avoid blocking air vents with large packages. Allow space between items for air circulation.
  • 2. Inspect door gasket: Ensure a tight seal to prevent warm air ingress.
  • 3. Test temperature sensors: Measure resistance of cabinet and evaporator NTC sensors and replace any that show intermittent or out-of-range readings.
  • 4. Replace control board if needed: If sensors and seals are good but fluctuations persist, the thermostat logic on the main PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
