TEMPERATARE CONTROL
Top Mount Models
These models
have two temperature
controls:
fresh food
and
treezer
compartment. The
fresh food
temperature
control senses the temperature
of
its
compartment
and
governs
the
compressor
operation
accordingly. The freezer
compartment
control adjusts
a baffle
which
regulates
the amount
of air allowed to
enter the fresh food
compartment.
Turning
the freezer
temperature
control toward the
coldest setting reduces
the flow
of
chilled
air
to
the fresh food
compartment. Because
the fresh food temperature
control uses
a sensing
element that
must be cooled
sufficiently before
stopping the compressor, the
reduced
air
flow
causes longer
compressor run time
and colder treezer temperatures,
while
maintaining
the required
fresh food compartment
temperatures.
Conversely
by turning the treezer temperature
control toward
the warmest
setting,
you
increase
the flow
of air into the fresh food
compartment
and decrease the flow to the
f reezer. This
cools the f resh food
compartment temperature
control
sensing element
faster,
resulting in
shorter compressor run
times and warmer treezer
compartment temperatures.
The fresh food
compartment will
stay
near the recommended
f resh food
temperature
unless
the freezer
temperature is
turned
to
an extreme temperature.
The
differential
between cut-in/cut-out temperature will vary
approximately 10o F.
CHECKING
OPERATING
TEMPERATURES
The temperature
control feeler tube
is
located in the
fresh food
compartment
behind the
slotted cover which
allows air
to
circulate over the feeler tube.
To check
the cut-in/cut-out temperatures
attach the
bulb of a
thermistor
temperature
tester to
the control
feeler
tube.
