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.
