How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before inspecting the PCB or wiring.

  • Verify temperature reading: Compare displayed temperature with an accurate thermometer. If the display is much higher than actual, replace the sensor.
  • Inspect PCB relay: Look for welded or burnt relay contacts. If the relay is stuck closed, replace the main PCB.
  • Check wiring: Ensure the compressor is wired according to the Gorenje schematic and not bypassing the control board.
  • Test after repair: Restore power and confirm that the compressor cycles off when the set temperature is reached.
