How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing lower zone panels or fans.

Steps to resolve F2:

  • Check loading: Avoid packing bottles tightly against the rear wall or vents in the lower zone.
  • Inspect lower zone fan and evaporator: Remove the lower internal panel to check for ice buildup and verify fan operation. Defrost fully if ice is present.
  • Test lower zone sensor: Locate the lower zone NTC sensor and measure resistance. Replace if open, shorted, or out of specification.
  • Verify wiring: Ensure the lower zone fan and sensor connectors are firmly seated on the main PCB.
  • Replace PCB if needed: If all components test good and F2 persists, the lower zone control on the main PCB may be faulty and require replacement.
