Interior Light; Moisture Reduction Heaters; Automatic Defrost System; Backup Operating System - Norcold 2117 Series Owner's Manual

Interior light:

The interior light is at the top of the fresh food compartment. It comes on when the
refrigerator is ON and the door is open. To replace the bulb:
1. Remove the DC power supply wires from the power board at the rear of the refrigerator.
2. Remove the cover [57] by pulling it toward the front of the refrigerator (See Art00988).
3. Remove the light bulb [58] from the holder [59].
NOTE: Use only a GE#214-2 bulb as the replacement bulb. This bulb is available at most
retail automotive parts centers.
4. Install the replacement bulb.
5. Install the cover.
6. Connect the DC power supply wires to the power board at the rear of the refrigerator.

Moisture reduction heaters:

The refrigerator has heaters that prevent moisture from forming on the center divider between the two doors and the perimeter of
the freezer compartment, and on the movable door seal. The heaters operate only when the refrigerator is ON and the DC power is
sufficient. The heater in the movable door seal also only operates when both doors of the fresh food compartment are closed.

Automatic defrost system:

The automatic defrost system will defrost the refrigerator at least daily. The refrigerator controls the actual time between defrost
cycles. The time between defrost cycles depends on the temperatures inside the refrigerator compartments and on the cooling system
performance. The refrigerator will defrost more frequently with:
- higher outside temperature and humidity.
- the storage of non-sealed fresh foods or warm foods.
- longer periods of time that the door(s) are open.

Backup operating system:

This refrigerator has a backup operating system. The backup operating system allows the refrigerator to continue to cool if the
temperature sensor of the refrigerator should fail.
If this failure occurs:
- The refrigerator automatically changes to the backup operating system.
- The backup operating system can overfreeze or thaw the contents of the freezer and the fresh food compartment.
- Make sure the temperatures of the freezer and the fresh food compartment are satisfactory.
NOTE: If you open the door(s) too often, the temperatures inside the freezer and fresh food compartment do not become stable.
Allow the refrigerator to operate for about one hour after each adjustment change before you examine the contents.
The number "9" is the coldest temperature setting.
- If the temperature is too warm, push and hold the SET TEMP button to raise the temperature setting by one number.
- If the temperature is too cold, push and hold the SET TEMP button to lower the temperature setting by one number.
- Have the refrigerator serviced by your dealer or a Norcold authorized Service Center as soon as possible.
