How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before inspecting switches or wiring.

Steps to check and fix:

  • 1. Check door switch: Ensure the switch is firmly mounted and actuated fully by the door. Replace if intermittent.
  • 2. Inspect sensor connections: Reseat connectors for cabinet and evaporator sensors on the main PCB.
  • 3. Secure wiring: Ensure harnesses are not loose or vibrating, which can cause intermittent contacts.
  • 4. PCB replacement: If alarms persist without identifiable cause, the main control PCB may be faulty.
