Maintenance tips for your DCS compact refrigerator

Routine maintenance helps your refrigerator run more smoothly, so it uses less energy. Clean the condenser coils regularly to help the sealed system cool down the refrigerator efficiently. The compressor won't run as frequently if you keep those condenser coils clean.

Adjust the refrigerator door(s) to prevent air leaks into the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Air leaks cause frost buildup on the evaporator, which interrupts airflow and causes cooling problems.

Routine maintenance can also help prevent odor problems. Change the air filter regularly if your model has an air filter. Clean the inside of the refrigerator so spills don't build up and cause smells. Clean the drain pan under the refrigerator regularly because that pan can attract bugs or residue that causes odors.

Troubleshooting tips for your DCS compact refrigerator when it's not cooling well

• Check the temperature setting and adjust the setting if necessary to keep foods cold.
• Check the door gasket for damage or leaks. Replace the door gasket if it's damaged. Adjust the door gasket if it leaks. Lubricate the door gasket with petroleum jelly to help prevent air leaks.
• Make sure the light bulb turns off when you push the refrigerator door switch in. If the light stays on, unplug the refrigerator and replace the door switch.
• Perform maintenance on the refrigerator. Clean the condenser coils and grill at the bottom front of the refrigerator cabinet.
