Possible Causes

Stuck turbo freeze button, Freezer thermistor misreading, Control board software glitch, UI board not exiting turbo freeze mode

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Basic checks can be done from the front panel. Unplug the refrigerator before removing any covers.

  • 1. Cancel Turbo Freeze: Press the Turbo Freeze button to turn the feature off. The indicator should stop flashing.
  • 2. Reset power: If the indicator remains on or flashing, unplug the unit for 5 minutes, then restore power.
  • 3. Verify freezer temperature: Place a thermometer in the freezer. If temperature is far below the setpoint (e.g., -10°F or lower when set to 0°F), the thermistor or control may be faulty.
  • 4. Check for stuck button: Gently press around the Turbo Freeze button to ensure it is not physically stuck in the pressed position.
  • 5. Seek service if unresolved: Ongoing issues may require replacement of the UI or main control board and verification of the freezer thermistor.
