Possible Causes

Failed freezer thermistor, Faulty freezer damper (on some models), Main control board failure, Wiring harness issue to freezer section

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors or controls.

  • Check actual freezer temperature: Use a thermometer to confirm if the freezer is at or near setpoint.
  • Test freezer thermistor: Access the sensor and measure resistance. Replace if out of specification.
  • Inspect damper (if present): On some Electrolux bottom-freezer models, a damper controls cold air flow. Ensure it opens and closes properly and is not blocked by ice.
  • Control board: If sensor and damper are good, the main control board may be misreading freezer conditions and require replacement.
