Possible Causes
Sensor out of calibration, Sensor not in correct position on evaporator, Damaged sensor insulation, Control board misreading sensor
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the appliance before removing freezer panels.
Procedure:
- 1. Access the freezer sensor: Remove drawers and the rear inner panel to expose the evaporator and sensor.
- 2. Verify placement: Ensure the sensor is clipped where the manufacturer intended (usually mid-coil). If it has slipped away from the coil, reattach it.
- 3. Inspect wiring and insulation: Check that the sensor lead is not damaged or touching heater elements. Replace if insulation is cracked or melted.
- 4. Replace sensor: If F2 persists or the sensor shows abnormal resistance, install a new freezer sensor.
- 5. Control board: Continued F2 after sensor replacement suggests a control board issue; seek professional service.
