Possible Causes

Cabinet temperature above alarm threshold, Door left open, Blocked airflow around condenser, Faulty temperature sensor reading too low

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: This is primarily a temperature alarm; still unplug before removing panels.

Steps:

  • 1. Verify actual temperature: Use a separate thermometer inside the cabinet. If the actual temperature is high, treat this as a cooling issue (check condenser, fans, compressor).
  • 2. Check door and gasket: Ensure the door closes fully and the gasket is sealing all around. Adjust hinges or replace gasket if needed.
  • 3. Improve ventilation: Make sure the cooler has adequate clearance on sides, back, and top per Kalamera installation guidelines. Move it away from heat sources.
  • 4. Reset alarm: Many models allow silencing the alarm by pressing any button. Once the temperature drops below the alarm threshold, Hi should clear automatically.
  • 5. Sensor check: If the display shows Hi but the interior is actually cool, test and replace the cabinet thermistor as needed.
