Possible Causes

Door switch misalignment, Slight temperature fluctuations near alarm threshold, Faulty buzzer circuit on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Most alarm troubleshooting can be done with power on; avoid touching live terminals.

  • Check door switch and gasket: Ensure the door fully closes and the switch is actuated. Adjust hinges or replace gasket if needed.
  • Verify setpoints and alarm settings: Some models allow alarm temperature adjustments. Set them appropriately for your storage needs.
  • Stabilize environment: Reduce frequent door openings and avoid placing the unit in areas with large ambient temperature swings.
  • Control board: If alarms continue without cause, the buzzer or alarm circuit on the control board may be faulty. Replace the main control PCB if necessary.
