How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the appliance before removing internal panels.

  • Inspect partition: Remove the central partition cover and check for a mechanical damper or flap that may be stuck open.
  • Test damper operation: Manually move the damper to ensure it is not jammed. Replace the damper assembly if broken.
  • Check inter-zone fan: Ensure the fan only runs when required. If it runs constantly regardless of settings, suspect a PCB fault.
  • PCB reset/replacement: Try a power reset. If the issue persists and hardware is intact, the control PCB may need replacement.
