What LA
actually means.
LA is the opposite of HA on a Hestan controller. The compartment has been below the low temperature alarm preset for more than 30 minutes. Drinks and produce can start to freeze, and a sharp drop in the outdoor temperature can bring it on.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Hestan's own guidance for LA on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Close the door fully and check the gasket for gaps.
Think about the weather: Hestan notes that a sudden change in the surrounding temperature can pull the compartment down with it.
Move anything that should not freeze, and book a visit if LA persists once conditions settle.
What not to do
LA does not mean the unit has stopped cooling. It is running too cold, not too warm.
