NOTICE • Normal operating ambient temperature range is from: Refrigerator and freezer 45°F to 90°F (7°C to 32°C). • Ventilation is required from the bottom front of the appliance. Keep this area open and clear of any obstructions. Adjacent cabinets and counter top can be installed around the appliance as long as the front grille remains unobstructed.
1. Troubleshooting Check for correct appliance installation per the instruction manual and proper voltage per appliance nameplate. a) Not Cooling Not Cooling - Possible Cause 1. Power Supply a) Unplugged, off, blown fuse, tripped or defective circuit breaker. On three-section receptacle box, only top receptacles have power.

b) Too Much Cooling Too much cooling - Possible Cause 1. Cabinet Thermistor a) Defective. c) Extreme Condensation Extreme condensation - Possible Cause 1. Cabinet Thermistor a) Loose. b) Installed improperly. 2. Door a) Do not shut completly (Defective gasket or hinges not adjusted).
C. Control Module Check Control Module Display. Before replacing Control Module that does not show a visible defect and that you suspect is bad, conduct the following check procedure. This procedure will help you verify your diagnosis. Always choose a neutral (W) to establish a good neutral connection when checking high voltages.
Startup/Cool Down 1. Check all wiring connections. Confirm the CTh is properly connected. 2. Energize the cooler. 3. Check for 115VAC to neutral (W). If 115VAC is not present, check the Power supply, wire connections. 4. Check that cabinet temperature is displayed. If not, replace CM. 5.
D. Thermistor Check The cabinet thermistor is used for cabinet temperature control. The Control Module monitors the thermistor to control system operation. No adjustment is required. In the event the cabinet thermistor reading is out of range (E0 alarm). The defrost initiation occurs every 4-hrs. of cumulative compressor run time for 25-min. To check thermistor resistance, follow the steps below: 1.
III.

A. Service for Refrigerant Lines WARNING • Repairs requiring the refrigeration circuit to be opened must be performed by properly trained and EPA-certified service personnel. • Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace of refrigerant to the system (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG).
2. Brazing DANGER Risk of Fire or Explosion Flammable Refrigerant Used • Servicing shall be done by factory authorized service personnel to minimize the risk of possible ignition due to incorrect parts or improper service. Risque De Feu Ou D'Explosion Le Frigorigène Est Inflammable •...
3. Evacuation 1) Attach a vacuum pump to the system. Be sure to connect the charging hoses to both high and low-side refrigerant piercing valves. IMPORTANT The vacuum level and vacuum pump may be the same as those for current refrigerants.
B. Maintenance WARNING • Unplug the appliance before performing maintenance to prevent electric shock or injury by moving parts. • Before performing maintenance, move all foods into another clean refrigerator or freezer. 1. Condenser Check the condenser once a year and use a brush or vacuum cleaner to clean the condenser as required.
IV. Preparing the Appliance for Periods of Non-Use WARNING • When preparing the appliance for long storage, prevent the doors from closing to reduce the risk of children getting trapped. • To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not touch the attachment plug with damp hands.
V. Disposal DANGER Risk of Fire or Explosion Flammable Refrigerant Used • Follow handling instructions carefully in compliance with U.S. government regulations. • Do not puncture refrigerant tubing. Risk of fire or explosion due to puncture of refrigerant tubing; follow handling instructions carefully. •...
