How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before moving sensors or opening panels.
- Usage pattern: Reduce door openings and avoid placing hot items inside. Allow bottles to cool to room temperature before loading.
- Check sensor placement: Ensure the cabinet sensor is not directly in the airflow of the evaporator or too close to the door. Reposition to the original factory location if moved.
- Replace sensor: If readings are erratic, install a new Montpellier-compatible NTC sensor.
- Environment: Avoid placing the cooler in areas with large ambient temperature swings (e.g., garages without climate control).
