Getting it in, and getting it right
Installation and setup
More faults begin at installation than anyone expects: a unit with no clearance cannot be cleaned into working, a door that was never levelled will keep frosting the evaporator, and an appliance in an unheated garage may behave badly without anything being broken. These guides cover the setup that decides how the next ten years go.
Clearances: the fault that starts before the appliance is switched on
A unit with no air path cannot be cleaned into working, and no repair will hold until the opening is right.
Levelling, and why most doors are meant to close by themselves
A refrigerator tilted very slightly back closes its own doors. One tilted forward frosts its evaporator within a week.
Garages, basements and porches: what a unit has to be rated for
A freezer in a cold garage can stop cycling and let its contents thaw while behaving exactly as designed.
