by an audible alarm.
The condenser coil may be clogged with dust, grime or
debris. Clean it following the instructions in Chapter 6.
The room’s ambient temperature may be higher than
86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or additional
cooling to the room or relocate the unit to a larger
space with lower ambient temperature.
The unit may be installed in close proximity to heat
sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters or direct
sunlight. Relocate the unit away from these sources.
The unit may be installed without clearance or proper
ventilation. Provide additional exhaust vents and observe
the clearance allowance specified in Chapter 2.

7. Troubleshooting Guide
In most cases, your Everest product may be exhibiting behavior that is typical of standard operation.
Observe the following when troubleshooting symptoms.
The compressor operates continuously or for
prolonged periods.
The condenser coil may be clogged with dust, grime or
debris. Clean it following the instructions in Chapter 6.
The door, drawer or gasket may not be sealing
properly. Check product placement in the cabinet as it
may prevent the door and drawers from fully closing. If
the gasket is loose, reattach.
The evaporator coil may be blocked with ice. Defrost it
following the instructions in Chapter 5. Normally,
evaporator coils will self-maintain with automated
defrost cycles. If the evaporator coil ices up frequently,
re-assess placement of food items in the cabinet as it
could obstruct cold air circulation. Food items must not
touch the wall or floors of the cabinet and stay within
the boundaries of the shelf to prevent blockage of air
flow.
The room’s ambient temperature may be higher than
86°F (30°C). Provide ample ventilation or additional
cooling to the room or relocate the unit to a larger
space with lower ambient temperature.
The unit may be installed in close proximity to heat
sources such as ovens, stoves, heaters or direct
sunlight. Relocate the unit away from these sources.
The unit may be installed without clearance or proper
ventilation. This forces the compressor to operate
constantly in order to maintain cabinet temperature.
Provide additional exhaust vents and observe the
clearance allowance specified in Chapter 2.
