REFRIGERATOR SYSTEM AND ADJUSTMENT
All self-contained value line and designer line refrigerators are designed and factory
set to maintain an average cabinet temperature of 38`f. The temperature control is
accessible from the top of the electrical console box located on the cabinet top
behind the front grill (see figure 6). If an adjustment is necessary to maintain the
above temperature range only, place a screwdriver into the thermostat slot and
turn clockwise for a colder cabinet temperature or counterclockwise for a warmer
cabinet temperature. Further adjustments out of the factory design temperature
range must be made by a qualified refrigeration mechanic only.
Important Note: All refrigerators are designed with an automatic, "off-cycle"
defrost system which means that defrosting occurs automatically when the
compressor is not operating during an off-cycle. Do not set the thermostat too cold
where the cabinet temperature will fall below 35`f because the evaporator will
become blocked by ice since the compressor off-cycle will be considerably
shortened. This will result in loss of food stored within the cabinet and require
service to defrost the evaporator and re-adjust the thermostat.
