Unit cycles on and off very frequently, short run times

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Thermistor located too close to cold air outlet, Control differential set too narrow, Oversized unit for small space, Control board logic issue

Safety: Unplug before moving sensors or panels.

Check sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet thermistor is not directly in the cold air stream. Reposition in its proper clip if displaced.
Stabilize load: Avoid frequent door openings and large rapid temperature changes.
Control settings: If your model allows, widen the temperature differential or adjust setpoint slightly.
Board replacement: If cycling remains abnormally frequent, the control board may be misbehaving and need replacement.
