Page 3: Tools Needed For Repairs
VIKING RANGE CORP. BUILT-IN REFRIGERATOR / FREEZER Tools Needed For Repair Channel locks or 5/8" open end wrench Medium size Phillips screwdriver Medium & small straight blade screwdriver Needle nose pliers Socket set with medium & long extensions, socket sizes ½" to 1/4"... - Page 7 The Freezer Compartment The evaporator fan (1) draws air over the evaporator coils (4) located in the lower portion of the freezer compartment. As the air passes over the evaporator, heat is extracted and the cold air travels up the back of the freezer compartment through an air duct (2) to the top of the unit.
- Page 8 Motorized Air Operation A motorized air door regulates the air flow coming from the freezer. The operation of the motorized air door is determined by the following components: • The temperature sensor (thermistor) located on the back wall of the refrigerator cover. •...
- Page 9 Control and Operation The temperature controls in the built-in refrigerator/freezer are designed to regulate temperature more accurately and operate the product more efficiently than freestanding side-by-side refrigerator/freezers. Freezer Thermostat Control The freezer thermostat controls the temperature of the freezer compartment be sensing cold air coming from the cold air duct on the back wall of the freezer liner.
- Page 10 • The electronic control board continuously sends a flow of voltage, or signal current, through the thermistor. The thermistor is sensitive to temperature fluctuations and changes resistance accordingly. When the temperature rises in the refrigerator compartment: • The thermistor resistance decreases, altering the signal going to the electronic control board. •...
- Page 11 Defrost System As air circulates through the refrigerator/freezer, moisture from food and outside air that enters whenever the doors are opened condenses and freezes onto the evaporator coils and fins to form a layer of frost. Periodically the frost must be cleared from the coils so that the air flow is not blocked. An automatic defrost function accomplishes this task with the use of a defrost timer, defrost heater and bimetal.
