Installation and setup
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.
Mockup note. The guide layout and the five clusters from the owner's sheet are in place; the prose is not written yet. Fleet rule R1 applies here more than anywhere: these guides must be written appliance-first, and none of them may be carried over from the *repairguide.com corpus.
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.
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.
Not a refrigerator? Each of these is its own appliance, and has a site of its own.
