Possible Causes
Thermistor located too close to cold source, Oversensitive control algorithm, Ambient temperature near set point, Poor ventilation causing rapid temperature swings
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before moving sensors or accessing the board.
Steps:
- 1. Verify ambient conditions: Ensure the cooler is not installed in a location with large temperature swings (e.g., near a window or HVAC vent).
- 2. Adjust set point: Change the set temperature slightly higher or lower to see if cycling behavior improves.
- 3. Check thermistor placement: Ensure the sensor is in free air, not touching the evaporator plate or a bottle.
- 4. Improve ventilation: Provide adequate clearance around the unit to reduce rapid heat buildup.
