How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or accessing fans.
Steps to diagnose and fix:
- Ensure door is closed: Verify the door closes fully and the gasket seals all around. Remove any items blocking closure.
- Check for warm air leaks: Inspect the gasket for damage and replace if necessary.
- Clean condenser: Remove rear panel and clean the condenser coil and fan.
- Verify fan operation: Confirm both evaporator and condenser fans run when the compressor is on. Replace any failed fan motors.
- Check sensor: If the interior feels cool but Hi is displayed, test the NTC sensor and replace if out of specification.
When to call a professional: If cooling remains poor after these steps, a sealed system issue (refrigerant leak or weak compressor) may be present and requires professional service.
