Cleaning

EXTERIOR CLEANING

Vinyl Clad (Black or White)

Clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water solution. Do not use solvent-based or abrasive cleaners. Use a soft sponge and rinse with clean water. Wipe with a soft, clean towel to prevent water spotting.

Clean any glass surfaces with a non-chlorine glass cleaner.

Stainless Models

Stainless door panels, handles and frames can discolor when exposed to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, saltwater or cleaners with bleach.

Keep your stainless unit looking new by cleaning with a good quality all-in-one stainless steel cleaner and polish monthly. For best results use Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner. Comparable products are acceptable. Frequent cleaning will remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. Some installations may require cleaning weekly.

Do not clean with steel wool pads.

If any surface discoloring or rusting appears, clean it quickly with Bon-Ami® or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser® and a nonabrasive cloth. Always clean with the grain. Always finish with Claire® Stainless Steel Polish and Cleaner or comparable product to prevent further problems.

Using abrasive pads such as Scotchbrite™ will cause the graining in the stainless steel to become blurred.

Rust not cleaned up promptly can penetrate the surface of the stainless steel and complete removal of the rust may not be possible.

Integrated Models

To clean integrated panels, use household cleaner per the cabinet manufacturer's recommendation.

INTERIOR CLEANING

Disconnect power to the unit.

Clean the interior and all removed components using a mild nonabrasive detergent and warm water solution applied with a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth.

Rinse the interior using a soft sponge and clean water.

CAUTION

Never attempt to repair or perform maintenance on the unit until the main electrical power has been disconnected from the unit.

SPECIFIC ERRORS AND ISSUES

The technically advanced diagnostic capabilities of the electronic controls utilized on the 1200 and 2200 series units allows for easy and thorough troubleshooting.

Navigation of the control is the key and is explained in the CONTROL OPERATION section of the manual, along with control button layout, control function descriptions, a service mode menu and service menu selection explanations.

Verification of temperature and thermistor performance can be identified by directly viewing thermistor readings in the service mode.

Component failure issues can be identified through service mode menu #19, "Component Testing." Individual components can be switched on and off to check for both proper function of a specific component and also delivery

All models incorporate rigid foam insulated cabinets to provide high thermal efficiency and maximum sound reduction for its internal working components. Despite this technology, your model may make sounds that are unfamiliar.

Normal operating sounds may be more noticeable because of the unit's environment. Hard surfaces such as cabinets, wood, vinyl or tiled floors and paneled walls have a tendency to reflect normal appliance operating noises.

Listed below are common refrigeration components with a brief description of the normal operating sounds they make. NOTE: Your product may not contain all the components listed.

• Compressor: The compressor makes a hum or pulsing sound that may be heard when it operates.
• Evaporator: Refrigerant flowing through an evaporator may sound like boiling liquid.
• Condenser Fan: Air moving through a condenser may be heard.
  • Automatic Defrost Drain Pan: Water may be heard

MAIN CONTROL

The main control board is very robust and is rarely the cause of system issues. It is important to fully diagnose the board for any suspected failures before attempting to remove the board for replacement or service. Follow the guidelines below to fully test and diagnose the main control.

Power Fault

If the unit does not (or seems to not) power on, follow the flow chart below to help diagnose the issue. Before beginning it is important to first verify the unit is not simply set to sabbath mode.

Testing The Main Control

If the main control is suspected of being faulty, the following procedure should be performed to verify main control for functionality.

Relay & DC Outputs

One of the primary functions of the main control is to operate the multiple relay and DC outputs during each cycle. Verify proper operation of these relays using the following procedure.

1. Enter "Relay Toggle" through the service menu.

NOTICE

Frequently toggling the compressor relay could force the compressor into overload. The compressor will automatically deactivate during an overload and will remain deactivated until the overload switch cools. This could take some time. It is important to allow the compressor at least 5 minutes off time between relay cycles.

1. Toggle the relay. Its related component should activate / deactivate with the switching of the relay. If it does not, test component.

Thermistors

Thermistors are used for various temperature readings. Thermistors provide reliable temperature readings using a resistance which varies based on surrounding temperatures. If a faulty thermistor is suspected it may be tested using an accurate ohmmeter.

Both thermistors in the unit are identical. If a thermistor is suspected of being defective, the resistance can be verified. Place the thermistor in an ice water bath, the resistance should read 16.1k OHMs +/-5% on your meter.

Thermistor connections must be kept clean. A thermistor connection that has become corroded can cause resistance values from the thermistor to change as they pass through a dirty connection to the board.

It is for that reason that we apply dielectric grease to all of our thermistor connections. Dielectric grease will help to keep thermistor connections clean and dry.

If you change a thermistor in the unit please re-apply dielectric grease to the connection. If you encounter a dirty thermistor connection, you should replace the thermistor and the thermistor harness.

Thermistor error information can be found in the Control Operations - Service section.

1000 Series Self Preservation Mode: The unit will cycle on for 10 minutes then off for 40 minutes.

Evaporator Thermistor

If the evaporator thermistor fails, the unit will rely on a preset defrost timer during defrost cycles. The unit will otherwise operate normally. Refer to defrost section.
