How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Note: On some Lanbo models, dF is a normal indication that the unit is in defrost mode. It should clear automatically.

  • 1. Wait and observe:
    • Allow 20–40 minutes for the defrost cycle to complete.
    • Check if dF disappears and cooling resumes.
  • 2. Check for excessive frost:
    • If dF remains for hours, unplug the unit and inspect the evaporator for heavy ice buildup.
    • Manually defrost if necessary by leaving doors open until all ice melts.
  • 3. Inspect defrost sensor:
    • If dF persists or recurs frequently, test and possibly replace the defrost sensor.
  • 4. Control board evaluation:
    • If the sensor is good and dF never clears, the main control board may be stuck in defrost and should be replaced by a technician.
