Safe first steps

  1. Unplug the fridge freezer from the power outlet to ensure safety while inspecting.
  2. Check the temperature sensor for any visible damage or disconnection. If it appears damaged, it will need to be replaced.
  3. Inspect the defrost drain and gutter for any blockages that may affect the sensor's operation. Clear any debris if found.
  4. If the sensor is intact and the drain is clear, but the error persists, arrange for a service visit to replace the sensor.

When to stop

  • Stop if you notice any burning smell or smoke coming from the appliance — risk of fire.
