TROUBLESHOOTING

A. Low ambient temperature
B. Freezer temperature control knob set too warm.
C. Freezer temperature control out of calibration
A. High ambient and/or heavy usage
B. Freezer control knob set too cold.
C. Freezer control out of calibration.
D. Light on constantly
E. Poor door seal
A. High ambient and/or heavy usage
B. Inadequate condenser air flow

D. Freezer temperature control out of calibration.
E. Freezer temperature control relay frozen closed.
F.
Loss of refrigerant or restriction
A. Low ambient and/or light usage
B. Freezer temperature control setting too warm or control out of
calibration
A. High humidity installation (design accepts bead of water on
exterior of cabinet after 4 hours with a 0° to 2°F. (-18° to -17°C.)
freezer food temperature and 38° to 40°F. (3°C to 4°C) refrig-
