Possible Causes

Aging thermistor, Sensor not in correct airflow path, Control board calibration drift, Sensor partially detached from wall

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the cooler before adjusting or replacing sensors.

  • Verify with a reliable thermometer: Place a calibrated thermometer in the center of the cabinet away from walls and compare readings after several hours.
  • Check sensor mounting: Ensure the cabinet temperature sensor is firmly attached to the wall or bracket and not touching the evaporator coil.
  • Replace thermistor: If the display is consistently off by more than a few degrees, replace the cabinet thermistor.
  • Control board: If a new sensor does not correct the discrepancy, the main control PCB may have calibration issues and require replacement.
