Possible Causes

Failed temperature sensor reading too warm, Stuck compressor relay on control board, Shorted thermostat circuit, Misplaced sensor touching cold coil

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors or the control board.

  • Check setpoint: Confirm the set temperature is correctly set and not at the coldest setting.
  • Inspect sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is not taped directly to the evaporator coil; reposition it to sense air temperature.
  • Sensor replacement: If the unit overcools and the display temperature is inaccurate, replace the cabinet NTC temperature sensor.
  • Control board: If overcooling persists, the compressor relay on the main control PCB may be stuck and the board should be replaced.
