Why is my Avantco 178SS2RGHC Refrigerator cabinet temperature too warm?
- J
  jessetorresAug 15, 2025
  Several factors can cause a too warm cabinet temperature: * The thermostat might be set too high; lower the thermostat setting. * Airflow could be blocked; rearrange items to allow proper airflow, ensuring at least four inches of clearance from the fan. * Low refrigerant levels can be a factor; contact a service technician to check refrigerant levels. * The door might not be fully closed; ensure the door is completely closed.

  If the Avantco Freezer's cabinet temperature is too warm, there might be several reasons. First, check if the thermostat is set too warm and lower the temperature if needed. Also, ensure that airflow isn't blocked by rearranging the product inside, providing at least 4" of clearance from the evaporator. Avoid placing an excessive amount of warm product in the cabinet. Other potential causes include a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker (replace or reset), a dirty condenser coil (clean it), an iced-over evaporator coil (close doors and defrost), a door slightly ajar (close it completely), or low refrigerant levels (contact a service technician).

  If the compressor on your Avantco Freezer isn't running, first check the basics: ensure the power cord is plugged in. Then, check the fuse and circuit breaker; replace the fuse or reset the breaker if necessary. Also, make sure the thermostat isn't set too high by setting the thermostat to a lower temperature. Finally, the unit might be in a defrost cycle, so wait for it to finish.

Why do the condensing units run for long periods of time on my Avantco Freezer?

  steve36Aug 26, 2025
  If the condensing units of your Avantco Freezer run for extended periods, it could be due to several factors. An excessive amount of water product in the cabinet might be the reason, so allow adequate time for the product to cool down. Check if the doors are being opened frequently or left ajar; ensure they are closed when not in use and avoid prolonged openings. Inspect the door gaskets for proper sealing; make sure they are snapped in completely, and clean them with soap and water, replacing if necessary. A dirty condenser coil can also cause this issue, so clean it. Lastly, an iced-over evaporator coil can be the culprit; unplug the unit to defrost the coil, ensure the thermostat isn't set too cold, and verify that the door gaskets are sealing correctly.

Why is condensation collecting on my Avantco Freezer cabinet and/or floor?

  Barbara JenkinsAug 29, 2025
  If condensation is collecting on your Avantco Freezer's cabinet or floor, the gasket might not be sealing properly; clean, repair, or replace it as needed. Another cause might be that the relative humidity is above 60%; move the unit to an area with lower relative humidity, or lower the humidity level in the current area.

  If the interior light of your Avantco Freezer isn't working, first try turning the light switch off and then back on to address a poor switch connection. If that doesn't work, check if the bulb is correctly inserted in the socket. If the bulb is properly connected, it may have burned out, so replace the bulb.
