Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors.

  • Relocate if necessary: Move the cooler away from ovens, dishwashers, or direct sunlight.
  • Check ambient sensor: On models with an ambient thermistor, inspect and test it as described in the E3 entry. Replace if faulty.
  • Inspect cabinet for damage: Look for dents or damage that may have compromised insulation.
  • Monitor with a thermometer: Use an independent thermometer to verify actual swings and adjust setpoint accordingly.
  • Control board replacement: If sensors and installation are correct but swings remain extreme, the control board may not be compensating properly and may need replacement.
