Reading Temperature Display
The temperature display will show thermistor temperature in binary code. The display has nine indicator
lights that will light up to display the temperature. Lights 1 – 4 indicate the first digit of the compartment
temperature and lights 5 – 8 indicate the second digit of the compartment temperature. The ninth light will
light up for a negative temperature.
To read the temperature of the unit from the display, refer to the code chart below

Below is an example of the Fresh Food Thermistor. In the first group of 4 indicators (10’s column) indicator
3 and 4 are lit. In the second group of 4 indicators (0’s column) indicator 6 and 7 are lit. Add al the values to
calculate the compartment.
Indicator 3 is illuminated this is a value of 2 or 20 degrees
Indicator 4 is illuminated this is a value of 1 or 10 degrees
Add Indicator 3 and 4 together to get a total temp of 30 degrees for the 10’s column.
Indicator 6 is illuminated this is a value of 4 or 4 degrees
Indicator 7 is illuminated this is a value of 2 or 2 degrees
Add Indicator 6 and 7 together to get a total temp of 6 degrees for the 1’s column.
Indicator 9 is not illuminated so the temperature is positive.
The compartment temperature for this example would be 36 degrees.
