Possible Causes

Faulty temperature sensor, Stuck compressor relay on control board, Poor door seal causing constant heat gain

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

Steps:

  • Verify actual temperature: Use an independent thermometer to confirm the cabinet temperature. If it is at or below setpoint but the unit keeps running, a control issue is likely.
  • Inspect door gasket: Ensure a tight seal all around the door. Replace the gasket if leaking.
  • Test temperature sensors: Check resistance of cabinet and evaporator thermistors. Replace any that are out of specification.
  • Check control board: If sensors and gasket are good, the compressor relay may be stuck closed. Replace the main control board.

Note: Continuous running increases wear and energy use; address promptly.
