Frequently Asked Questions - ABR-960 NewAir

How do I adjust the temperature on my NewAir ABR-960 refrigerator?

Turn the thermostat dial located inside the refrigerator. The dial typically has settings from 1 (warmest) to 7 (coldest). Start at 3 or 4 and adjust as needed. Allow 24 hours for temperature to stabilize.

Why is my refrigerator making unusual noises?

NewAir refrigerators may produce sounds such as gurgling, clicking, or humming. This is normal due to refrigerant flow and the compressor. If noises are loud or persistent, ensure the unit is level on a hard surface. Check that nothing is vibrating against the back panel.

Can I reverse the door on my ABR-960?

Yes, the door is reversible. Instructions are in the manual: remove the top hinge, lift the door, and install the hinge on the opposite side. You may need a screwdriver and a helper. Ensure the door closes tightly after reversal.

How do I defrost my refrigerator?

This model requires manual defrost. Unplug the unit, remove food and shelves, and leave the door open. Place towels to absorb melting water. Do not use sharp objects to remove ice. Clean and dry before restarting.

How often should I clean the condenser coils?

Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to maintain efficiency. Unplug the unit, locate the coils at the back or bottom, and use a vacuum with a brush attachment. Dust buildup can cause poor cooling and increased energy use.

What is the energy consumption of the ABR-960?

The estimated annual energy consumption is 250 kWh. Actual usage depends on ambient temperature, door openings, and thermostat setting. For optimal efficiency, keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and ensure proper ventilation.

Why is ice forming inside my fridge?

Ice buildup is usually due to frequent door openings, a worn door gasket, or setting the thermostat too cold. Check that the door seals properly. Defrost manually and adjust temperature to a warmer setting if necessary.

What should I do if my refrigerator is not cooling?

First, ensure the unit is plugged in and the outlet has power. Check that the thermostat is not set to '0' or 'off'. Clean the condenser coils. If still not cooling, the compressor or refrigerant may be faulty. Contact NewAir support.

Can I store beverages and food together in this fridge?

Yes, the ABR-960 is designed for general food and beverage storage. However, avoid overloading shelves to allow proper air circulation. Keep raw meat sealed and on lower shelves to prevent cross-contamination.

What are the installation clearance requirements?

Allow 5 inches (12.7 cm) of clearance on the back and sides for ventilation, and at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the unit. Place on a level, hard surface away from direct sunlight and heat sources like ovens or radiators.
