How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No internal electrical work is strictly required; unplug if accessing sensors.
Steps:
- Monitor temperature: Use a separate thermometer to confirm actual temperature stability.
- Reduce door openings: Frequent access can trigger alarms on some models.
- Inspect sensors and wiring: If comfortable, check that cabinet and evaporator sensors are secure and connectors are tight.
- Control reset: Unplug for 10 minutes to reset the alarm logic. If alarms persist without real temperature issues, consider replacing the main control board.
