ambient temperature, application, amount of use (number of times
and length of time the door or drawers or opened and closed),
etc.

not sealed properly, it allows heat into the unit. U-Line’s warranty

the condenser.
• Is the unit behind closed doors or the vent restricted? The front
grille must be free of obstruction.
