Introduction

2001 Energy SxS models are being introduced in response to the requirement for more energy- efficient refrigerators by mid year 2001, along with having feature and operation enhancements. The primary differences in this refrigeration system are the adaptive defrost system (see Pub. # 31-9062), control board, software, and control systems that operate independently in fresh food and freezer sections. The new high-efficiency control system has the ability to cycle components and adjust fan speeds as required to maintain temperature- setting ranges in freezer and fresh food sections. Feedback systems are digital inputs and relay outputs. Sensors (thermistors) are used to measure temperature with communications to a main PC board, which controls the unit components. The refrigerator has versions that have control knobs or touchpads (Profile models) to provide inputs to a microprocessor. The freezer/ fresh food controls are temperature setpoint type and have settings of 0-9 with 9 being the coldest temperature possible. The new NO CLEAN condenser is serviceable from the rear and is designed to prevent the customer from having to clean the condenser in normal usage conditions.

Sealed system operation and compressor are functionally the same as previous models, with some minor changes.

The 20', 22', and 25' side-by-side models are the models affected. These models are available with through-the-door chilled water and ice dispenser, and built-in water filter feature. On models requiring icemaker, the newest electronic icemaker (see Pub. # 31-9063) has been or can

be installed.

The freezer has adjustable shelves, slide-out Spillproof shelf, QuickSpace shelf, and deep door shelves, based on model. The fresh food section has a baking soda holder, fruit and vegetable drawer, drawer dividers, adjustable humidity drawer, and convertible meat drawer.

This new high-efficiency refrigerator is a combination of the most efficient refrigeration system and the most desirable customer features available.
