Possible Causes

Failed partition fan or damper, Air leak between zones, Single cooling module not distributing correctly, Thermistor misplacement between zones

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the cooler before removing internal panels.

Steps:

  • 1. Confirm design: Verify that your NutriChef model is truly dual-zone and not a single-zone with separate displays.
  • 2. Inspect partition: Check the divider between zones for gaps or missing foam that could allow uncontrolled air mixing.
  • 3. Check zone fans/dampers: Access the internal ducting and verify that any zone-specific fans or dampers operate when each zone calls for cooling. Replace failed fans.
  • 4. Verify sensor locations: Ensure each zone's thermistor is in the correct compartment and not swapped or dangling.
