How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before removing panels.

  • Verify temperature difference: Confirm that only the upper zone is failing to cool.
  • Inspect upper zone fan and vents: Remove the upper interior rear panel and check the fan for operation and obstructions.
  • Check thermistor: Test the upper zone thermistor resistance and compare to the lower zone sensor.
  • Clear ducts: Ensure any shared ducts or vents are not blocked by shelves or bottles.
  • Replace faulty components: Install an OEM Avanti upper zone fan motor or thermistor as needed. If these are good, replace the zone control or main control board.
