Electrolux Freezer Repair – Paris, OH (LFFU17F5HWF)

Samuel was back on a return visit in Paris, OH to resolve a persistent HI TEMP indicator on an Electrolux upright freezer that had been illuminated since a prior control board replacement. The freezer was holding temperature correctly throughout. A second control board replacement cleared the latched alarm and returned the unit to normal operation.

The Problem

High temp door ajar alert displaying even though door is shut tight; everything still frozen.

The Repair

Return visit following control board replacement.
Customer reports HI TEMP indicator illuminated continuously since prior repair. Verified freezer compartment holding -2 to -7°F at control setting 5, with temperature cycling normally between cut-in and cut-out, confirming thermistor input and compressor control function correctly. Per manufacturer documentation (297281400), the HI TEMP indicator on this standard electronic control extinguishes automatically once compartment temperature falls below 23°F; the ALARM RESET button silences the audible alarm only and does not clear the indicator. Compartment has held well below the 23°F clear threshold since the prior visit with no change to the indicator. Control lock function operates normally, confirming button and panel response. Alarm indicator determined to be latched at the control board, unrelated to compartment temperature or sensing circuit.
Replacement control board ordered.

Replaced main board. All OK.
