TROUBLESHOOTING
•
The beverage cooler is not level.
•
The shelves are out of position.
•
The door gasket is dirty.
•
A beverage container in the cooler is not the correct size.
•
Check that unit is plugged into the wall socket.
•
Make sure the wall socket has power. If outlet is controlled
by a wall switch, make sure switch is set to on. Test wall
socket functionality by testing another electrical appliance
in the power socket.
•
Make sure there are at least 3 to 5 beverage containers in
the unit. When using the unit for the first time, it can take
up to 24 hours to reach the desired temperature.
•
If the room temperature is at the high end of the ambient
temperature range, it may have more difficulty achieving
a low internal temperature.
•
To achieve accurate temperature control, the unit should
not be used or operated in any of the following locations:
o In a sunny place, a room with poor air circulation such
as a garage.
o Near another heat-producing appliance such as a
dishwasher, oven or refrigerator.
o With an outlet shared with a refrigerator, as the
refrigerator will drain power from the beverage cooler.
•
Make sure the cooler has proper clearances at side and
rear and is located in a well-ventilated area.
•
Door is not closed tightly or is being opened too
frequently.
•
This is simply a function of the cooling system. The lower
the setting, the more the fan will run. If the room is very
warm, the cooler will run more.
•
The unit has been designed to run continuously when
operating at the lower temperatures.
•
Check to make sure the beverage cooler is level.
•
Check to make sure that there are no pipes touching the
compressor.
•
Either too much humidity or too low of temperature inside
cabinet. Unplug cooler and allow to manually defrost.
Reconnect when ice has melted. If problem persists,
contact for service instructions.
•
If there is no frost on the surface of the evaporator the
refrigeration system may be leaking or is blocked. Contact
for service instructions.
