In most cases it is heat load or airflow, not a failed controller.
Check these common non-fault causes first:
Warm stock just loaded: an upright freezer can take hours to pull newly loaded product down, especially if items were delivered above freezer temperature. Load in stages where possible.
Door not fully closing: door being held open by a shelf edge, cartons, or a worn/dirty gasket lets humid kitchen air in and can keep the cabinet stuck around a warmer plateau.
Airflow blocked inside: over-packing, bags pressed against the air outlets/returns, or product stacked tight to the back wall can prevent cold air circulation.
Normal defrost behaviour: temperatures can rise temporarily during/after defrost and then recover.
Site heat and poor ventilation: if the room is hot or the unit is boxed-in, the refrigeration system cannot reject heat efficiently, so pull-down to setpoint slows dramatically.
If the cabinet is running continuously but not improving after you correct loading/door/airflow and give it recovery time, move to the pre-service checks below.

FAQ
What does a high-temperature alarm or flashing temperature display mean?
A high-temperature alarm or a flashing temperature display usually means the controller is reading cabinet air temperature above its alarm threshold for long enough to trigger an alert. After start-up, this can be normal
