If the complaint is NO ICE or NOT ENOUGH ICE or ICE MELTING, check the temperature settings first. The default settings are 37° F (3° C) in the refrigerator section and 0° F (-18° C) in the freezer.

Check the temperature of the condenser unit. If it is cooler than 86° F (30° C) at an ambient temperature of 70° F (21° C) there is likely a low level of refrigerant caused by a leak in the sealed system. |
 |
Check the dryer’s auxiliary fill pipe for signs of oil or refrigerant leakage. |
 |
If there is evidence of a leak, evacuate the system, replace the dryer, check for leaks, and then recharge the system. The system should run to specification now. |
 |
While replacing the dryer and repairing the system, check all the solder joints and usual places for leaks. Be extra careful using your torch around plastics. Do NOT use a torch on a system containing R-600 refrigerant! In the case of R-600, use Lok-Ring connectors. |
