Code Meaning Severity Common Symptom

DR Door Left Open Low The display shows dr (door reminder) prominently and an audible chime plays to draw attention to the open door condition. View FC Fan Circuit Fault Medium Bottles on some shelves feel notably warmer than others. Without active air circulation, cold air settles at the bottom of the zone and warm air collects at the top. View HI Zone Temperature High High The digital display shows a current temperature well above the target — for example, 70°F when set to 55°F. The reading has been climbing steadily over hours rather than spiking momentarily. View LO Zone Temperature Low High The current temperature shows several degrees below target — for example, 42°F when set to 55°F — and the reading has been dropping rather than recovering. View PF Power Failure Notification Low The control panel shows PF and emits an audible alert the moment electricity returns, acknowledging a recent interruption. View SE Sensor Error Medium The current temperature reading jumps around, stays at a single value regardless of conditions, or shows an obviously impossible value like 999 or --. The board cannot determine real zone temperature. View
