Warning: Never attempt to remove frost with a sharp object!
Normal Sounds
Your new Beverage Cooler may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Most of the new
sounds are normal. Hard surfaces like the floor and walls can make the sounds seem louder
than they actually are. The following describes the kinds of sounds that might be new to you
and what may be making them.
Rattling noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line. Items stored on
top of the Beverage Cooler can also make noises.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
Water running from the evaporator to the water bin may make a splashing sound.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your
Beverage Cooler.
You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan.
Temperature Alarm
If the interior temperature is higher than 73
°F (23°C), “HI” is shown on the temperature
control panel and the temperature alarm will sound continuously after one hour.
This indicates that the inner temperature is too high. If the inner temperature is lower
than 32
°F (0°C), “LO” is shown on the temperature display panel and the temperature
alarm will sound continuously after one hour. If one of these situations occurs please
reference the troubleshooting section found in this manual or contact EdgeStar for support.
Door Ajar Alarm
This Beverage Cooler includes a door ajar alarm, which will sound if one of the doors is
open for more than five (5) minutes. Leaving the door open for extended periods of time
will cause poor cooling performance and may shorten the life of the refrigerator. Keep
the doors closed as frequently as possible.
Defrosting
Note that under most refrigerating settings, the unit will automatically defrost under most
ambient conditions. However, on colder settings, some frost may build up. Additionally, the
more humid the ambient conditions, the more frost may build up. Keep the door closed as
much as possible and avoid opening the door unnecessarily to minimize frost build-up.
If frost is preventing the door from closing properly, you may need to power the unit off until the
frost melts. Use a soft absorbent towel to dry the unit.
