Possible Causes

Drifting temperature sensor, Loose sensor connection, Failing control board, Poor air circulation due to blocked vents

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Unplug before panel removal, but you can observe behavior with power on.

  • Check loading: Avoid blocking interior air vents with bottles. Maintain space between bottles for airflow.
  • Inspect sensor: Locate the Luma cabinet temperature sensor and ensure it is properly mounted and not touching a cold wall or warm light housing.
  • Reseat connectors: Reseat the sensor connector on the control board to ensure a solid electrical connection.
  • Replace sensor or board: If fluctuations continue, replace the sensor. If still unstable, the main control board may be misregulating and should be replaced.
