‘cht’ or ‘CHt’ appears on the LED alternating
with the current temperature and accompanied
by an audible alarm.
The condenser coil may be clogged with dust, grime or
debris. Clean it following the instructions in
Chapter 7
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 door or door gasket may not be sealing properly.
Check product placement in the cabinet as it may
prevent the door from fully closing. Check if the unit is
properly leveled. If the gasket is loose, reattach.
The compressor, fan motors, or entire system
fails to start
The ON/OFF switch may be set to OFF. Turn to the ON
position and wait for the LED and motors to show signs
of operation.
The power cord may not be connected. Check for
proper connection. In cases of damage to the power
cord or plug, immediately mark the unit as out of order
until the damaged part is replaced.
The outlet may not be sending power or the power
supply breaker may be switched off. Unplug the unit
and contact a licensed electrician for inspection and/or
repairs.
The door is not closing properly.
Check if the unit is properly leveled. For sliding door
models, the door’s self-closing mechanism relies solely
on gravity.
9. Troubleshooting Guide
In most cases, your Everest product may be exhibiting behavior that is typical of standard operation.
Observe the following when troubleshooting symptoms.
Check if the side and middle gaskets are properly
attached to the frames and sealing properly. Re-attach
and clean as necessary.
For sliding door models, check if the door wheel
and tracks are free of any obstructions such as food
particles and other debris. Clean as necessary.
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 7
The door or door gaskets may not be sealing properly.
Check if the unit is properly leveled as this will affect
the door’s self-closing mechanism. Check product
placement in the cabinet as it may prevent the door
from fully closing. If the gasket is loose, reattach.
The evaporator coil may be blocked with ice. Defrost
it following the instructions on pages (9-13). 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 on page 3.
