How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before servicing fans or sensors.
- Clear vents: Ensure upper zone vents are not blocked by bottles or shelves.
- Test fan: Access the upper zone evaporator fan and check for free rotation. Replace if seized or not running when called.
- Check thermistor: Test the upper zone thermistor and replace if readings are out of spec.
- Control board: If components are good but the upper zone never cools, the control board output for that zone may be failed and require replacement.
