How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before moving or opening panels.
Steps:
- Ventilation: Improve airflow around the cooler by increasing clearance and ensuring vents are not blocked.
- Sensor placement: Check that the cabinet sensor is not directly in the cold air stream from the evaporator outlet. Reposition slightly if possible.
- Ambient conditions: Avoid placing the cooler in very hot or direct-sunlight locations.
- Control board: If short cycling persists, the main control board may have a logic fault and may need replacement.
