Possible Causes

Faulty cabinet NTC sensor, Defective main control board temperature regulation, Poor door seal causing heat gain, Blocked air circulation inside cabinet

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before accessing sensors or the control board.

  • Verify actual temperature: Place an accurate thermometer in the middle of the cabinet and compare to the display. Note any large discrepancy.
  • Check door gasket: Inspect for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Replace the Grundig door gasket if it does not seal evenly.
  • Ensure proper loading: Avoid overpacking bottles against the rear wall or air vents. Maintain space for air circulation.
  • Test cabinet sensor: Measure resistance of the cabinet NTC and compare to Grundig specs. Replace if out of range.
  • Replace control board if needed: If sensor and gasket are good but temperature control is erratic, the main PCB may be misregulating and should be replaced.
