- 3Connector loose at the board
Step-by-Step Troubleshooting
- 1
Unplug the refrigerator and find the fresh-food sensor clipped near the interior wall or air duct
- 2
Measure the NTC resistance at room temperature — an open or near-zero value confirms failure
- 3

- 4
Reseat the sensor connector at the main board and check for corroded pins
- 5
Replace the fresh-food sensor if it reads out of range
Pro Diagnostic Tip
With E1 active the board runs a fixed default pattern, so the fridge often stays roughly cold at first and then drifts off setpoint over a day — do not assume it is fine.
