How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before internal inspection.
- Improve ventilation: Ensure adequate clearance around the unit to prevent compressor overheating.
- Check sensor location: Make sure the cabinet temperature sensor is not directly in the cold air discharge, which can cause rapid cycling.
- Power stability: Avoid sharing the outlet with high-draw appliances that may cause voltage dips.
- Replace control board: If cycling remains abnormal after sensor and ventilation checks, the main control board may need replacement.
