Possible Causes
Faulty thermostat or NTC sensor, Poor sensor placement or loose mounting, Control board relay sticking intermittently, Door frequently opened or poor loading practices
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before accessing sensors or control boards.
- Check usage patterns: Reduce door openings and avoid placing hot food directly inside. Ensure air can circulate around items.
- Inspect sensor mounting: Verify that the freezer NTC is firmly attached to its designated location (wall or evaporator) and not hanging loose.
- Test thermostat/NTC: Measure resistance at different temperatures and compare to specifications. Replace if readings are erratic.
- Control relay: If the compressor relay on the PCB clicks rapidly or sticks, replace the main PCB.
Test: After repairs, monitor temperature with an independent thermometer over several days to confirm stability.
