Possible Causes

Zone-specific evaporator fan failure, Faulty zone temperature sensor, Air damper stuck open or closed (if equipped), Partial refrigerant restriction to one evaporator

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing internal components.

Steps to diagnose:

  • Compare zones: Use an independent thermometer to verify actual temperatures in both zones.
  • Check zone fan: Listen for the fan in the affected zone. If silent, access and test the fan motor; replace if failed.
  • Test zone sensor: Measure resistance of the NTC sensor in the affected zone and replace if out of specification.
  • Inspect air damper (if present): Some BODEGA dual-zone models use a damper to share cooling. Ensure it moves freely and is not stuck.

When to call a professional: If mechanical and electrical components test good, a sealed system or control logic issue may be present and requires professional service.
