Why is my Avantco Refrigerator cabinet temperature too warm?
- D
  Douglas HarrisAug 15, 2025
  If the Avantco Refrigerator's cabinet temperature is too warm, there might be several reasons: * The thermostat may be set too high; if so, set the thermostat to a lower temperature. * Airflow could be blocked; re-arrange products to allow proper airflow, ensuring at least four inches of clearance from the fan. * Low refrigerant levels might be the issue; in this case, contact a service technician to check the refrigerant levels. * The door might be slightly ajar; ensure the door is completely closed.

  Several factors can cause the Avantco Refrigerator cabinet temperature to be too warm. The thermostat might be set too warm; try setting it to a lower temperature. Airflow could be blocked, so rearrange the product to allow proper airflow, ensuring at least four inches of clearance from the evaporator. An excessive amount of warm product placed in the cabinet requires adequate time to cool down. Also, check if a fuse is blown or a circuit breaker is tripped, and replace or reset it if necessary. Other potential causes include a dirty condenser coil, an evaporator coil iced over (ensure doors are closed), low refrigerant levels (contact a service technician), or a door slightly ajar (ensure it's completely closed).

  Condensation on your Avantco Refrigerator cabinet or floor can occur if the gasket is not sealing properly; clean, repair, or replace it as needed. Another cause could be a relative humidity above 60%; move the unit to an area with lower relative humidity or lower the humidity level in the current area.

Why does my Avantco 178A23RHC condensing unit run for long periods of time?
- D
  Donna VegaSep 4, 2025
  The condensing unit in your Avantco Refrigerator might run for extended periods due to several reasons. An excessive amount of warm product placed inside the cabinet requires adequate cooling time. Prolonged door openings or doors left ajar can also cause this issue, so ensure doors are closed when not in use and avoid opening them for long periods. Additionally, check the door gaskets to ensure they are sealing properly; snap them in completely, wash them with soap and water, and replace them if necessary. An iced-over evaporator coil might also be the cause; unplug the unit to allow the coil to defrost, ensure the thermostat isn't set too cold, and verify the door gaskets are sealing properly.
