How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug before accessing sensors.

Steps:

  • Confirm with multiple thermometers: Verify the actual temperature with a reliable thermometer placed in the center of the cabinet.
  • Check sensor placement: Ensure the thermistor is in the correct location and not blocked by bottles or insulation.
  • Replace thermistor: If readings are consistently off by more than a few degrees, replace the cabinet temperature sensor.
  • Control board: If a new sensor does not correct the display, the control board may have calibration issues and require replacement.
