The defrost cycle temperature in the Sub-Zero 601R refrigerator is controlled by the defrost terminator. For model 601F-2, the defrost terminator cut-in temperature is 30°F (-1°C), and the cut-out temperature is 70°F (21°C). If adjustment is needed, check for proper operation of the defrost terminator and replace it if defective. There is no manual adjustment for these temperatures.
