Possible Causes
Thermistor reading slightly warm, Control board hysteresis too wide, Door gasket leak, Poor insulation or high ambient temperature
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before testing sensors or adjusting door components.
- 1. Confirm actual temperature: Use a thermometer to verify that the interior is at the desired temperature.
- 2. Inspect door gasket and cabinet: Repair any leaks that allow warm air in.
- 3. Test thermistor: Replace if readings are off compared to actual temperature.
- 4. Consider ambient conditions: If the cooler is in a very warm room, continuous running may be normal. Improve room cooling or ventilation if possible.
