Possible Causes
Sensor not properly clipped to evaporator or wall, NTC sensor drifted out of calibration, Poor air circulation around sensor, Control board calibration offset
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing internal panels.
- Verify with multiple points: Place a reliable thermometer in the middle of the cabinet away from walls and compare after several hours.
- Check sensor mounting: Remove the interior panel and ensure the NTC sensor is correctly clipped in its designated position, not hanging loose.
- Replace sensor if needed: If readings are consistently off by several degrees and other causes are ruled out, replace the NTC sensor.
- Compensate in use: If the difference is small and stable, you may choose to adjust the setpoint to achieve the desired actual temperature.
