1. Temp rise on your model will not cause any indication or beeping.
2. IF there is a failure, you will get a flashing LED stating what has failed
3. Should the door be kept open for too long
(more than 2 minutes), the blue external
LED starts flashing until the door is closed.
Only with AES models an acoustic signal is
initiated (pulsing whistle tone).
?? Should the electronic control detect any failure,
an acoustic signal will sound (pulsing
whistle tone) for 30 seconds (only with AES
models). It is repeated every hour, if the fai
lure is not resolved. At the same time the
display starts flashing (for trouble-shooting,
please refer to section 4.13).
4. For a problem like this you usually disconnect the Temp Thermister which will cause the refer to run full time. Then see if it stops cooling in your parameters problem. IF so, then replace the Thermister.
5. Does your model have the optional rear cooling fan? Not ALL of this model will have the rear cooling fan. If you have the fan, then your fan Tstat may be defective. Doug
