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.
