Possible Causes

Aging NTC sensor, Poor sensor placement or contact, Firmware calibration offset, Air stratification due to fan issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors.

  • Verify with multiple thermometers: Place a reliable thermometer in the center of the cabinet away from walls and wait several hours.
  • Check fan operation: Ensure the interior fan is running to mix air and reduce stratification.
  • Inspect sensor location: Confirm the NTC is in free air, not touching cold surfaces. Reposition if necessary.
  • Replace sensor: If readings are consistently off by a large margin, replace the cabinet NTC sensor.
