Appliance runs too 
long 

 

Prolong door openings. 

 

Control set too cold. 

 

Room temperature is high which will make the 
unit work harder to keep cool.  

Temperature of 
external wall 
surface is warm 

 

The exterior walls can be as much as 30 
degrees warmer than room temperature due 
to the embedded condenser coils. This is 
normal when the unit is operating.   

Compressor noises 

 

Compressor may be overheated.  Please check 
the room temp and ensure the range is within 
65°F to 85°F.  If the problem still exists, call for 
service. 

Moisture collects 
inside 

 

Door gasket is not sealing properly. Check for 
debris, cracks, and items passing through door 
at the gasket.                                                             

 

The refrigerator or freezer is facing a doorway 
or is underneath of air conditioning vent. 
Relocate the unit or redirect air vent. 

 

Too many door openings. Minimize time door 
is open. 

 

Hot, humid weather increases condensation. 

 

Make sure there is a water trap (U-shaped 
loop) in the drain tube near the compressor. 
This will “trap” a small amount of water in the 
loop and prevent air from entering the 
chamber through the tube.  

Moisture collects 
on outside surface 

 

Hot, humid weather increases condensation. 

 

As humidity decreases, moisture will 
disappear. 

Odor inside the 
unit 

 

Interior needs to be cleaned.  See section on 
maintenance and cleaning in this manual.  

 

Make sure product containers are tightly 
sealed to prevent leakage 

Door will not close 

 

The unit is not level. Refer to the Leveling 
section at the beginning of this manual 

 

Check for dirt and debris or items passing 
through the door seal. 

 
MOISTURE DURING THE SUMMER SEASON 
The amount of moisture, condensation, or high humidity related issues increase 
during the summer and, in most cases, will self-resolve when the weather cools 
down.  Please note a refrigeration system will NOT generate moisture or water but 
simply condenses the moisture that is already in the chamber. Keeping the unit in an
