Possible Causes
Ambient temperature too low, thermistor out of calibration, sensor shorted, control board misreading sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Always unplug before accessing internal components.
Steps:
- 1. Check room temperature: Ensure the unit is not installed in a garage or unheated area below Avanti's minimum ambient temperature. Move to a warmer location if needed.
- 2. Power reset: Unplug for 5–10 minutes and restart to see if the code clears.
- 3. Inspect thermistor: Access the evaporator or bin thermistor and check for secure mounting and intact wiring. A sensor touching an extremely cold surface incorrectly can trigger L1.
- 4. Replace sensor if faulty: If the thermistor tests out of spec with a multimeter, replace it with an Avanti-compatible part.
