Possible Causes
Thermistor disconnected and reading default value, Sensor embedded in ice, Failed ADC on control board, Sensor wire broken inside insulation
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the cooler before accessing sensors.
- Verify with a thermometer: Place a separate thermometer inside and compare to the displayed value over time.
- Inspect for ice: Remove the interior rear panel and check if the thermistor is encased in ice. Defrost the unit fully.
- Check sensor connection: Ensure the thermistor plug is firmly connected to the control board.
- Test sensor resistance: Measure resistance at different temperatures (e.g., room temperature vs. cooled). If resistance does not change, replace the thermistor.
- Control board replacement: If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the control board's measurement circuit may be defective and require replacement.
