Possible Causes
Shorted temperature sensor, Stuck compressor relay on control board, Incorrect temperature setting, Door gasket not sealing causing sensor misread
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Disconnect power before accessing sensors or the control board.
- 1. Check temperature setting:
- Verify the setpoint is not at the lowest possible value unless intentionally chilling very cold.
- 2. Inspect door seal:
- Ensure the door gasket is sealing; warm air leaks can cause the sensor to call for constant cooling.
- 3. Test temperature sensor:
- Access the cabinet sensor and measure resistance at known temperatures.
- If readings are out of spec, replace the cabinet temperature sensor.
- 4. Evaluate control board:
- If the compressor never shuts off even when the cabinet is very cold and the sensor is good, the main control board relay may be stuck closed and should be replaced.
