Possible Causes

Aging NTC sensor, Sensor not positioned correctly, Control board calibration offset, Poor air circulation around sensor

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting or replacing sensors.

Steps:

  • Verify with multiple thermometers: Place at least two accurate thermometers at different heights to confirm the discrepancy.
  • Check sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is not touching bottles or walls and is in free airflow.
  • Replace sensor: If the sensor is old or suspect, install a new cabinet NTC temperature sensor.
  • Control calibration: Some Transtherm models allow minor temperature offset adjustments via the control menu; consult the manual and adjust if available.

Note: Temperature can vary slightly between shelves; measure near the sensor location for best comparison.
