How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing sensors.

Steps:

  • Adjust temperature: Increase the set temperature slightly and monitor ice behavior over 24 hours.
  • Check sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is correctly mounted and not touching the evaporator directly.
  • Test sensor: Measure NTC resistance and compare to Neff specifications.

Replace the cabinet sensor if readings are incorrect. If the sensor is good, the control board may be faulty.
