Quick and easy way to test cooling unit.
Within 20 minutes of starting the refrigerator, touch the outside of the insulation sleeve.
- The outside of the insulation sleeve should be warm to the touch.
- If the outside of the insulation sleeve is not warm, the selected energy source may not be operating correctly
.
- Within one hour after starting up the refrigerator, touch the fins on the inside of the fresh food compartment.
- The fins should feel cold to the touch.
- If the fins do not feel cold to the touch after two hours, the cooling unit is not operating correctly
After running overnight..
If freezer section very cold but food section not cold......cooling unit blocked
