them to become brittle and prevent proper seals. Also, never
use sharp tools or knives to scrape or clean the gasket which
could possibly tear the gasket and rip the bellows.
Gaskets can easily be replaced and do not require the use of
tools or authorized service persons. The gaskets are “Dart”
style and can be pulled out of the grove in the door and new
gaskets can be “pressed” back into place.
Doors/Hinges
Over time and with heavy use doors the hinges may become
loose. If it is noticed that the door is beginning to sag, it may
become necessary to tighten the screws that mount the hinge
brackets to the frame of the unit. If the doors are loose or
sagging this can cause the hinge to pull out of the frame which
may damage both the doors and the door hinges. In some
cases this can require qualified service agents or maintenance
personnel.
If it becomes necessary to adjust a door, follow these
instructions:
1. If the door needs lowering at the handle, use a 5/16” wrench
to loosen the hinge screws and install a spacer outside of
the hinge (see illustration 1). Tighten the screws.
2. If the door needs to be higher at the handle, use a 5/16”
wrench to loosen the hinge screws and install a spacer
inside of the hinge (see illustration 2). Tighten the screws.
Drain Maintenance
Each unit has a drain located inside the unit which removes the
condensation from the evaporator coil and evaporates it at an
external condensate evaporator pan. Each drain can become
loose or disconnected from moving or bumping the drain. If
you notice excessive water accumulation on the inside of the
unit be sure the drain tube is connected from the evaporator
housing to the condensate evaporator drain pan. If water
is collected underneath the unit you may want to check the
condensate evaporator drain tube to be sure it is still located
inside the drain pan. The leveling of the unit is important as the
units are designed to drain properly when on a level surface,
if your floor is not level this can also cause drain problems.
Be sure all drain lines are free of obstructions, typically food
product is found blocking drain lines causing water to back up
and overflow the drain pans.
Service Alert
During normal operation the evaporator fan may cycle
and/or pulse independently of the compressor. Consult
the service manual or contact Technical Support at
1-800-733-8829 if you are unsure of the proper function.
