How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the refrigerator before accessing sensors or control boards.

Steps:

  • Adjust freezer setting: Raise the freezer temperature setting slightly and monitor.
  • Check gasket: Inspect the freezer door gasket for leaks that cause the unit to run longer.
  • Replace thermistor: If the freezer thermistor reads incorrectly, replace it with a Crosley-compatible sensor.
