How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug the unit before adjusting switches or wiring.
Steps:
- Observe pattern: Note if beeping coincides with door movement or compressor cycling.
- Check door seal: Inspect and adjust the gasket and hinges to ensure a tight, consistent seal.
- Test door switch: Wiggle the switch gently while the door is closed to see if the alarm triggers; replace if intermittent.
- Inspect sensor wiring: Check thermistor harnesses for loose connections that could cause brief temperature spikes.
- Disable alarm (temporary): If possible, use the control panel to mute the alarm until the underlying issue is resolved.
