Safe first steps
- Unplug the fridge freezer from the power outlet to ensure safety while inspecting.
- Check the temperature sensor for any visible damage or disconnection. If it appears damaged, it will need to be replaced.
- Inspect the defrost drain and gutter for any blockages that may affect the sensor's operation. Clear any debris if found.
- 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.
