Possible Causes

Loose display ribbon cable, Failed display PCB, Blown low-voltage fuse on control board, Broken wiring in door harness

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the cooler before removing the control panel or rear cover.

  • Check cooling operation: Listen for compressor or fans to determine if the unit is still running despite the blank display.
  • Inspect power cord and outlet: Confirm the outlet has power and the cord is intact.
  • Access display connections: Remove the front control panel and reseat the ribbon cable or harness between the display and main board.
  • Inspect for broken door harness: On models with controls in the door, flexing can break wires. Check continuity of wires running through the door hinge area.
  • Replace display board: If wiring is intact but the display remains blank, replace the display PCB.
  • Check board fuses: Inspect any low-voltage fuses on the main board and replace if blown, after identifying and correcting the cause.
