Freezer temp reverts to +7

Freezer temperature reverts to +7 - Control board issue

Samsung · Refrigerators

What does Freezer temp reverts to +7 mean?

The freezer's displayed temperature immediately reverts to a positive 7 degrees (implying Celsius or Fahrenheit, indicating it's too warm for a freezer) within seconds of being set to a lower, colder temperature. This points to a control board or temperature sensor malfunction.

Common Causes

  • Faulty control board
  • Defective freezer temperature sensor (thermistor)
  • Wiring issue to the control panel or sensor
