Possible Causes
Mispositioned cabinet sensor touching evaporator, Sensor out of calibration, Control board misreading sensor input
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting or removing the sensor.
Steps:
- 1. Check temperature with a separate thermometer: Place a reliable thermometer in the middle of the cabinet to confirm actual temperature.
- 2. Inspect sensor placement: Locate the cabinet sensor and ensure it is not in direct contact with the cold evaporator wall; it should sense air temperature.
- 3. Adjust loading: Avoid pushing bottles directly against the back wall, which can cause localized freezing.
- 4. Replace sensor if needed: If the sensor reads significantly different from actual temperature, replace it with a Liebherr NTC sensor.
- 5. Control board check: If a new sensor does not resolve the issue, the control board may require replacement by a technician.
