Routine Maintenance & Cleaning
General recommendations are to keep the interior
clean by occasionally washing it out, and if
anything should spill inside, wiping up the spill
immediately.
The condenser is a coil at the bottom of the
machine where air flows through to exhaust the
heat from the cabinet. The condenser should be
cleaned at least twice a year. The freezing
compartment should be defrosted whenever
frost has built up on it.
1. Condenser cleaning: The cleaner the condenser
is the less time the refrigerator will have to operate
to keep the interior at the correct temperature.
A. Remove screws and the kickplate at the bottom
of the cabinet.
B. Locate condenser on the left side, earlier
models had the condenser near the front, current
models have it near the back. Use a vacuum
cleaner with an attachment that can reach the
condenser. Vacuum up all lint and dust visible on
the condensers fins.

2. Defrosting: Frost will build up on the freezing
compartment, this is normal. The frost must be
periodically allowed to melt off or the refrigerator
will become ineffective and operate for very long
periods to try to maintain the set temperature.
A. Open the door and remove all items stored in
the refrigerator.
B. Remove any ice tray (if used) from the freezing
compartment.
C. Check that the plastic tray below the freezing
compartment is in place and empty.
D. Push the button located in the center of the cold
control IN.
This starts the Defrost cycle. If there is substantial
frost build up the tray under the freezing
compartment will not hold all the water, and must
be emptied; check the defrost every few hours. The
RFE33 will automatically return to the refrigeration
cycle when defrost has been completed. Note: This
may take up to 24 hours, so alternate storage of
perishables is required.
Caution: Do not scrape or pry ice/frost off the
freezing compartment. It is very vulnerable to
penetration by sharp objects and if pierced, the
refrigerator will loose its refrigerant and will require
extensive service.
The most convenient time to clean the interior is
after defrosting the freezing compartment.
