Possible Causes

Aging NTC sensor with shifted resistance, Sensor not properly positioned, Control board calibration error, Air stratification due to poor circulation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting sensor placement.

  • Verify with reliable thermometer: Place a calibrated thermometer in the center of the zone and allow several hours to stabilize.
  • Check sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is correctly clipped to the evaporator cover or wall and not touching warm components or light fixtures.
  • Replace sensor: If the displayed temperature is consistently off by several degrees and does not respond correctly to changes, replace the NTC sensor for that zone.
  • Improve circulation: Avoid overloading shelves and blocking vents; this helps reduce temperature stratification.
