Thermostat or thermistor out of calibration, control board not terminating freeze cycle, door gasket leaking, ambient temperature very high
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before accessing sensors or control board.
Steps:
- 1. Check door seal: Inspect the gasket for gaps or tears. Replace if not sealing properly.
- 2. Verify ambient temperature: Ensure the room is within the recommended range and away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- 3. Inspect thermistor: Check that the evaporator or bin thermistor is properly attached and not covered in ice or debris. Replace if readings are out of spec.
- 4. Control board: If sensors and seals are good but the compressor never cycles off, the control board may be stuck in a freeze command and should be replaced.
