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.

01

Close the door fully and check the gasket for gaps.

02

Think about the weather: Hestan notes that a sudden change in the surrounding temperature can pull the compartment down with it.

03

Move anything that should not freeze, and book a visit if LA persists once conditions settle.

Still there?

It usually turns into diagnostic visit. Book with the code and the model number.

What not to do

LA does not mean the unit has stopped cooling. It is running too cold, not too warm.

What you may
notice with it.

The refrigerator problems LA tends to arrive with. Answer these at the refrigerator before anyone is booked.

Questions
about LA.

Can I clear LA myself?
Close the door fully and check the gasket for gaps. If it comes back, it needs a visit.
Can cold weather cause LA on my Hestan outdoor unit?
Yes, Hestan notes a sudden change in surrounding temperature can pull the compartment down. LA appears after more than 30 minutes below the low alarm preset. Drinks and produce can start to freeze.
Does LA mean my Hestan has stopped cooling?
No, it is running too cold, not too warm. Close the door and check the gasket for gaps. If LA persists once conditions settle, book a visit.
