Temperature Faults
When the setpoint drifts, the clock is ticking
Temperature faults are the silent killer of commercial refrigeration in Wonderboom. The room is still running, the compressor still cycles — but the product is slowly warming past its safe holding range. Accurate diagnosis separates a five-minute sensor fix from a full refrigerant recharge.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Temperature Faults — service specification
Symptoms
- ▸ Reading 1°C – 3°C above setpoint with no obvious cause
- ▸ Controller showing error codes or erratic readings
- ▸ Intermittent high-temperature alarms
- ▸ Product temperature not matching the air-on reading
- ▸ Defrost terminating early or late
Root causes
- ▸ Drifting or failed air-on / air-off sensors
- ▸ Miscalibrated defrost termination thermostat
- ▸ TXV hunting from incorrect superheat setting
- ▸ Dirty or iced coil reducing heat-transfer efficiency
- ▸ Controller logic or relay output failure
Repair process
- 01 Calibrated probe verification against a reference thermometer
- 02 Superheat and subcooling measurement at the TXV
- 03 Defrost timing and termination audit
- 04 Sensor and controller recalibration or replacement
- 05 Logged 24-hour temperature verification after repair
