3  Thermostat type 

If you are planning to convert your ice 
box into a freezer, or as a spillover 
system, a freezer thermostat (0021) 
must be used. 

4  Evaporator type & size 

If the evaporator has an even coating of 
frost, the thermostat is set on 7, & the 
system is cycling, the evaporator may 
be too small. Either replace the 
evaporator with a larger model, add 
insulation to the bottom of the box to 
reduce volume, or re-locate the 
evaporator lower in the box. The latter 
may cause the temperature at the top of 
the box to be above acceptable levels.  

5  Excessive frost build-up 

If an excessive layer of frost is allowed 
to build up on the evaporator it will act 
as an insulator & adversely affect box 
temperatures. Defrost system by 
interrupting power supply at the breaker 
panel or by turning thermostat to the off 
position. Restore power or reset 
thermostat when evaporator is free of 
frost. Never use any implement in an 
attempt to loosen the frost on the 
aluminum evaporator.  A light frost is 
acceptable.  

6 Incorrect 

refrigerant 

charge 

If, after the compressor has been 
running for an appreciable length of 
time, the evaporator surface does not 
have an even coating of frost, or it is 
only cold & sweating to the touch, the 
system may be low on refrigerant or 
over-charged. Consult a marine 
refrigeration specialist. 

7  Drain left unplugged 

If your ice-box is equipped with a drain 
in the bottom of the box, it is suggested 
that you block it off to prevent heat 
loss. The drain should only be used if 
you revert to melting ice, or after a 
major clean-up. 

8 Tubing 

hole 

left 

unplugged 

The hole that had been drilled to allow 
the copper tubes on the evaporator to 
pass through during installation must be 
sealed.
