Possible Causes

Aging cabinet sensor, Poor sensor placement or contact, Control board calibration drift, Warm air infiltration from door gasket leak

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before moving sensors.

  • Confirm with reliable thermometer: Place a calibrated thermometer in the center of the cabinet away from walls and check after several hours.
  • Inspect sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is properly mounted in its holder and not touching the evaporator directly, which can skew readings.
  • Replace sensor: If the display is consistently off by several degrees, replace the cabinet NTC temperature sensor.
  • Check door gasket: A leaking gasket can cause warm air pockets near the door. Replace the door gasket if it does not seal tightly.
