Possible Causes

Aging NTC sensors, Poor sensor placement, Firmware calibration offset, Partial sensor wiring damage increasing resistance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before accessing sensors or the control board.

Steps to check and fix:

  • 1. Verify with reference thermometer: Place a calibrated thermometer in the center of the cabinet and compare readings after several hours of stable operation.
  • 2. Check sensor mounting: Ensure cabinet sensors are properly mounted and not touching very cold surfaces directly.
  • 3. Replace suspect sensors: If readings are consistently off by several degrees, replace the cabinet NTC sensors with new Vestfrost-compatible parts.
  • 4. Control calibration: Some models allow minor temperature offset adjustments via the control panel; consult the manual. If not, and the error is large, the control PCB may need replacement.
