    Try switching off for 5 seconds and switch back on. As this is the “timer” with the rear PCB being the “controller” I’d go for faulty timer, ie new display required.

    hope that helps

    Yes the mains, the triangle I’ve never seen, I’d have to think it’s not a rear pcb generated fault therefore it’s the display at fault.

    No, it’s an error code being displayed. Double dashes in the freezer display indicate the temperature has risen above -13.
    Check that the compressor fan is running, compressor not overheating and cutting out. Main PCB may be the culprit. Don’t have the manual to hand just now but if no one else comes along with the answer I’ll dig it out tomorrow after work.

    OK, got the training manual open and it says, verify that the compressor, the evaporator and compressor fan are working and measure the internal temperature. Replace the main board.

    Basically, if all checks out ok the board is at fault. No mention of the freezer probe (NTC) though. Freezer probe is the 4 way connector on the board and uses pins 1 and 3.

    If it won’t do a defrost it is probably the defrost stat on the evaporator.

    The wiring diagram shows a thermal fuse & a thermostat.
    No values are listed.
