|
|
| |||
| 1. | Control set too cold. | 1. | Adjust control warmer (counterclockwise). |
| ||
| 2. | Fan motor stalled. | 2. | Replace fan motor. |

|
|
| |||
| operating). |
|
|
| |||
| 1. | Little or no frost pattern on evaporator. | 1. | Check for sealed system leak or restriction. |

|
|
|
|
| limit switch). |
|
|
|
|
|
| |||
| Compressor overheating. |
|
|
