  • 2. Verify door closure: Ensure the bin door closes fully and latches properly. Adjust hinges or catches if needed.
  • 3. Avoid frequent opening: Limit how often the bin door is opened to reduce warm air entering.
  • 4. Thermistor check: If the bin area remains unusually warm, the bin thermistor may be misreading and should be tested and replaced if faulty.
