2. The compressor and evaporator fans will start if the temperature control is calling for cooling. (If the compressor does not
start,verifythatthetemperaturecontrolisnotinthe“OFF”or“0”position.)
3. The temperature control may cycle the compressor and evaporator fan(s) on and off together.
a. The temperature control is sensing the evaporator coil temperature.
 b.Thetemperaturecontrolshouldbesetonthe#4or#5.
c. The warmest setting is #1, the coldest is #9, and #0 is the off position.
d. The thermometer is designed to read and display a cabinet temperature not a product temperature.
The thermometer may reflect the refrigeration cycle swings of up and down temperatures.
The most accurate temperature on a cabinet's operation is to verify the product temperature.
4. There is not a defrost timer as the temperature control will initiate the off-cycle defrost during each refrigeration cycle.
a. At this time, the compressor will and the evaporator fan(s) may turn off. Defrost heaters are not installed on refrigerators
andthereforewillnotbeenergized.
b. After the evaporator coil temperature has been reached, as determined by the temperature control, the compressor will
restart.

4. The defrost timer will initiate defrost during specific times of day.
a. At this time, the compressor and evaporator fan(s) will turn off and the evaporator coil heater and drain tube heater will
beenergized.Somecabinetsmayalsochangetherotationofthereversingcondenserfanmotor.
b. After the predetermined evaporator coil temperature has been reached or duration for defrost has expired, the
compressor will restart and the evaporator fan(s) will remain off until a specific temperature of the evaporator coil is
reached.
