Possible Causes

Shorted compartment NTC sensor, Stuck relay on main control board, Incorrect sensor placement touching evaporator, Firmware/control calibration error

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the cooler before accessing sensors or the control board.

  • Verify set temperature: Confirm the displayed setpoint is correct and that no special modes (e.g., fast chill) are active.
  • Check sensor placement: Remove interior panels and ensure the compartment NTC sensors are not taped directly to the evaporator coil, which can cause false low readings.
  • Inspect wiring: Look for damaged or shorted sensor wires that could cause incorrect readings.
  • Replace suspect sensor: If overcooling is confined to one zone, replace that zone's NTC sensor.
  • Control board: If sensors are good and correctly placed, the main control board may have a stuck relay or calibration fault and should be replaced.
