Possible Causes

Temperature set too low, Faulty refrigerator temperature sensor, Air damper stuck open, Poor food placement blocking airflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Most steps can be done with the unit powered; avoid contact with moving fans.

  • Adjust temperature: Raise the fridge temperature setting by 1–2 °C and monitor for 24 hours.
  • Rearrange food: Keep items away from the rear wall and air outlets to prevent direct cold airflow on sensitive items.
  • Check damper: Inspect the air damper for being stuck fully open and repair or replace if necessary.
  • Sensor check: If freezing persists, the fridge NTC sensor may be misreading and should be tested and replaced.
