Possible Causes
Failed evaporator fan in affected zone, Faulty zone temperature sensor, Air duct blockage between zones, Control board not energizing zone valve or damper (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing interior panels.
Steps:
- Compare zones: Note which zone (upper or lower) is not cooling.
- Check fan operation: Listen for fan noise in each zone when the compressor is running. Access the interior panel of the warm zone and verify the fan runs. Replace the fan motor if it does not.
- Inspect air ducts: Ensure vents between zones are not blocked by bottles or debris.
- Test zone sensor: Measure resistance of the affected zone's cabinet sensor and compare to the working zone. Replace if readings differ significantly.
- Control board: If fans and sensors are good, the main PCB may not be controlling the zone correctly and may need replacement.
