Possible Causes

Control locked in lowest setpoint, Faulty temperature sensor causing out-of-range reading, Control board firmware limitation, User lock function enabled

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal work is needed for basic checks; unplug only if removing panels.

  • Check user manual: Some Antarctic Star models display Lo when set to their minimum temperature. Verify the allowed range and adjust within it.
  • Unlock controls: If a control lock is enabled, follow the manual (often holding a specific button for 3–5 seconds) to unlock and adjust temperature.
  • Compare with thermometer: Place an accurate thermometer inside and compare to the display. If the display is far off, the cabinet thermistor may be faulty.
  • Replace sensor if needed: If the sensor is defective, replace it as described in the E1 procedure.
  • Control board: If sensor is good but Lo remains and temperature cannot be set correctly, the main control PCB may require replacement.
