why is my fridge still warm after the basic checks?
if the fridge stays warm with the door properly closed and food clear of the vents, the cooling fault needs diagnosis. a sensor, control or cooling-system problem can give similar symptoms.
record which compartment is affected and any display or alarm changes. do not open control housings, cabinet panels or refrigerant components.
the linked guide explains arranging assessment of the lower control module, not proving it has failed. the 808893501 is a complete board assembly with metal housing and buzzer, separate from the display panel. it is relevant only when a technician identifies that module as the cause and confirms the exact model and version. continuing warmth after a repair needs further investigation rather than another assumed board change.
first checks
- check the unobstructed door
look for packaging holding the door open or food blocking an internal vent, without removing covers.
