What P1
actually means.
A flashing P1 on the LED controller of a Hestan undercounter unit means the thermostat probe, the sensor the controller uses to read the compartment, has failed. Without a trustworthy reading the controller cannot hold the set temperature reliably. Hestan lists no owner fix for it.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Hestan's own guidance for P1 on its refrigerators. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Note the model number from the rating label on the inside top of the cabinet.
Put an appliance thermometer inside and check the real temperature over a few hours.
Move anything that cannot tolerate a change in temperature, then book a visit.
What not to do
P1 is not P2. P1 concerns the probe that reads the compartment; P2 is the probe on the evaporator.
