How is the thermostat temperature probe secured to the freezer's storage bay?

Sounds like your thermostat is bad. You probably have to replace it and the sending unit also. Big job! Look for a manual at : http://www.servicemanuals.net

Well, no, actually. P2 is an error related to the evaporator temperature probe. I would start with the electrical connections, the bond between the probe and the evaporator, and the evaporator fan.

Replace the dor seal

3 star freezers are not storage freezers and will maintain frozen food for a short time only, They should reach -18c when closed but may come up in temperature quite rapidly when the door is opened. They are usually found as the cooling evaporator in fridges with freezer boxes in. Four star freezers are dedicated freezer storage space and will keep frozen food at the right temperature for some months.

P1 is a probe fault on the control probe. Check it's not damaged or got water in the end.Check the connection to the controller. If all good, replace probe.

You don't note whether or not you've adjusted the thermostat. Ice cream (and juices) requires at least zero degrees, if not minus 5 degrees, for storage. Meats, fish, bread, etc. can become rock hard at much higher temperatures. Try setting the thermostat lower.

dear sir/madam

i think this is thermostat setting problem please make sure freezer,s thermostat nobe (nidle) is in correct position .then see thermostat temperature settings . may be thermostat is not controlling to compressor motor that why it,s running continuously.

hope answer the question,
thank you

Not sure of your make/model. If its a standalone freezer you could exchange the termostat with a Fridge, or you could jury rig a seperate line voltage thermostat with probe in the compartment, which you would plug the fridge into and would override the internal thermostat (internal thermostat would always be calling for cooling because the line voltage thermostat would be set higher--any time the temp increased above the set point on the line voltage tstat the relay would close and the freezer would run). An anti freeze alarm coupled to a simple relay or contactor would work for this purpose... depending on how handy you are I could explain all the necessary components...

Yes, the sensor detects the temperature of the evaporator plate then the PCB reverts to the adjustable timer. Check the probe in a glass of ice water. the reading should be between 5-7k ohms. if out of this range replace the probe. also check heat transfer paste is on holder and good contact is made probe to plate.
Be sure you are adjusting the pot the correct way as the large refers to the dimple in the cube not the thickness of the cube. ie its backwards to the initial thinking.

I don't have the details on you machine but if I were going to trouble shoot this problem, assuming its a temperature probe I would power off the machine, remove the access panel and remove the temperature probe and check it with an Ohm meter or continuity checker for proper functioning by putting the probe in ice and see if it opens electrically. Sometimes the probe is not a simple thermostat type. The bin control on some machines is optical. The ice pile breaks a light beam to turn off ice making. Sometimes the probe is a thermistor. These latter two kinds of probes have electronics connected to them. A simple ohm check will not work for these cases. You can tell what kind you have by looking at it carefully. The thermostat kind that can be checked with a continuity checker or ohm meter is a sealed metal tube. The optical type has a light source and a separate pick up sensor. The thermistor type is a very small device on the end of a pair of wires. For the optical type or the thermistor type write back for more details.
