Possible Causes
A faulty NTC temperature sensor reading too warm, a stuck compressor relay on the control board, incorrect control calibration, or the SuperFreeze function being stuck on.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power before accessing sensors or control boards.
Steps:
- Check settings: Verify that the temperature is not set too low and that SuperFreeze is off.
- Measure actual temperature: Place a thermometer in the freezer and compare it to the displayed value.
- Inspect sensor: Access the freezer compartment sensor and test its resistance at a known temperature. Replace if out of specification.
- Control board: If the sensor is correct but the compressor runs excessively, the control board relay may be stuck. Replace the main control module if confirmed.
