WARNING : Troubleshooting procedures involve working with high
voltages which can cause injury or death. Troubleshooting should only be
performed by trained personnel.
This section is a guide to troubleshooting equipment problems.
Solution
Check that the cord is securely plugged in.
All models except undercounter models have a double pole circuit breaker
located next to the power inlet. Make sure that it is in the ON ("1")
position. Try cycling the switch to OFF ("0") then ON ("1").
Plug another appliance into the outlet to see if it is live.
If the outlet is dead, check the circuit breaker or fuses.
Make sure that the cold control is set correctly. Refer to Section 6.
Make sure the condenser is clean. Refer to Section 12.2 on page 21.
Make sure the door is completely closed.
Allow ample time to recover from loading warm product.
Check for proper voltage to the unit. If there is no voltage to the unit, call
an electrician.
If the compressor is not running, check if the unit has a power failure
alarm. If the power failure alarm light is on, have an electrician check for
proper voltage to the unit.
If the compressor is running, open the door and look through the slotted
air intake in the bottom of the evaporator cover to see if icing is present
on the evaporator. If icing is present and there is no air flow behind
evaporator, call technical service for assistance. The evaporator fans may
be inoperative.
If the compressor is running and there is air flow behind the evaporator,
contact an authorized service provider or call the technical support hot
line for assistance.
