Possible Causes
Failed bin fan (if equipped), Warm air infiltration due to poor door/bin seal, Defective bin thermistor, Unit installed in hot environment
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting fans or seals.
Steps to improve storage:
- Check bin door or lid: Ensure it closes fully and the gasket is intact. Replace damaged gaskets.
- Inspect bin fan: On models with a dedicated bin fan, verify it runs when the unit is cooling. Replace if not operating.
- Reduce ambient heat: Move the unit away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
- Check bin sensor: If the bin is not being cooled when it should, test the bin thermistor and replace if out of spec.
When to call a technician: If the bin never cools despite a running compressor, internal ducting or control issues may require professional service.
