How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before removing the control panel.

Steps:

  • Check power: Confirm the cooler is running (compressor or fans audible). If so, the issue is likely limited to the display.
  • Access display: Remove the front/top trim to expose the display control panel. Reseat the ribbon cable or harness.
  • Inspect for damage: Look for moisture, corrosion, or burned components on the display PCB.
  • Replace display: If connections are good but the display remains blank, replace the display panel assembly.
  • Board check: If a new display does not light, the low-voltage supply on the main control board may be faulty and require replacement.
