How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before accessing sensors or control boards.
Steps:
- 1. Check temperature setting: Ensure the set temperature is appropriate (typically +4°C for refrigerator). Adjust upwards if set too low.
- 2. Verify with thermometer: Place a thermometer in the center of the compartment and compare to the display.
- 3. Inspect sensor placement: Locate the refrigerator NTC sensor and ensure it is not touching the evaporator outlet directly or buried behind food.
- 4. Replace sensor if suspect: If the sensor is damaged or readings are clearly inaccurate, replace it with a genuine V-ZUG refrigerator NTC sensor.
- 5. If overcooling persists: The main control board may be faulty and keeping the compressor on too long. Professional evaluation is recommended.
Warning: Avoid covering air vents with food containers; this can cause localized freezing.
