Possible Causes
Door gasket leak, High ambient temperature, Dirty condenser coil, Misplaced temperature sensor near cold air outlet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the unit before cleaning or moving sensors.
Steps to reduce run time:
- 1. Check ambient conditions: Ensure the STAIGIS cooler is not installed in direct sunlight or near heat sources and that room temperature is within the specified range.
- 2. Inspect and replace gasket: Fix any door seal issues as described earlier.
- 3. Clean condenser: Remove dust and debris from the condenser coil.
- 4. Verify sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is not directly in the path of cold air from the evaporator outlet, which can cause false readings. Reposition it to a more representative location if necessary.
