Why is my Summerset SSRFR-24DR2 Refrigerator not cold enough?
If your Summerset Refrigerator isn't cold enough, first, ensure the temperature is set correctly. If it requires a lower setting, adjust it accordingly. If you've just added a large amount of food, allow the appliance time to reach the set temperature. Also, avoid opening the drawer too frequently.
How to fix a Summerset SSRFR-24DR2 Refrigerator that won't turn on?
If your Summerset Refrigerator isn't operating, ensure it's properly connected to a power supply and switched on. Also, check your circuit breaker or fuse; if tripped or blown, reset the breaker or replace the fuse.
What to do if the alarm sounds and the temperature display flashes on my Summerset Refrigerator?
If the alarm sounds and the temperature display flashes on your Summerset Refrigerator, it might be due to a few reasons. Avoid opening the drawers too often. Check for any obstructions or dust on the ventilation opening and clear them. If there was a lengthy power interruption, allow the appliance some time to reach the set temperature.
Why won't the drawer on my Summerset Refrigerator close properly?
If the drawer of your Summerset Refrigerator won't close properly, ensure it's fully closed. Check the drawer seal for cleanliness and proper sealing; clean or replace if necessary. Also, verify the drawer hinge and reassemble it correctly if it was reversed or improperly installed.
The Summerset 2-Drawer Refrigerator is a luxury outdoor kitchen appliance designed for both built-in and free-standing applications, offering convenient and efficient storage for beverages and food items in an outdoor setting. Its primary function is to keep contents cold, with two separate drawers allowing for organized storage.
The refrigerator operates by maintaining a set internal temperature, which can be adjusted by the user. It features two drawers for storage, with the upper drawer typically used for beverages and the lower for food items like fruits and vegetables, as shown in the product imagery. The unit is designed to operate within an ambient temperature range of 50°F (10°C) to 109.4°F (43°C), ensuring optimal performance in various outdoor conditions.
The appliance includes an automatic defrosting system that activates under normal operating conditions. The evaporator, located behind the rear wall, defrosts automatically, and condensation is collected in a drainage channel, flowing into a drip tray by the compressor where it evaporates. In cases of repeated opening in high heat or humidity, leading to frost accumulation, a manual defrosting option is available by pressing and holding the 'A' button for 6 seconds.
An audible alarm system is integrated to notify users if the storage temperature is not sufficiently cold, with the temperature display flashing simultaneously. This alarm can be triggered by factors such as warm fresh food being placed inside, excessive warm ambient air entering the unit, a power failure, or a fault in the appliance. The alarm automatically silences once the temperature returns to an acceptable level.
The control panel allows for easy operation and temperature management. To turn the appliance ON or OFF, the user presses and holds the POWER key for 5 seconds. The temperature can be adjusted by first pressing the 'SET' button, then using the 'A' or 'V' buttons to increase or decrease the temperature in 1°C/1°F increments. Pressing 'SET' again confirms the selection, and the display will show the actual temperature. If no further operation occurs within 6 seconds, the display reverts to showing the actual temperature inside the cooler.
Users can also switch the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius. This is achieved by pressing the 'A' and 'SET' buttons simultaneously and holding them for 6 seconds. The temperature control range is from 32°F to 50°F. The factory preset temperature is 36°F. To view the set temperature at any time, the 'SET' key can be pressed, and the set temperature will flash in the display window for 6 seconds before reverting to the actual internal temperature.
The refrigerator is equipped with an interior LED light that illuminates when a drawer is opened and the interior fan stops. This light can also be manually turned on or off by pressing the 'V' button.
For installation, the unit does not require additional air space for the top, sides, or rear when built-in, but the front grille must remain unobstructed to ensure proper airflow. The appliance comes with four adjustable leveling legs to ensure it sits on a flat, level surface, which is crucial for proper operation. The handle for each drawer needs to be installed by the user, aligning it with screws on top of the drawer and tightening them with screwdrivers.
Periodic cleaning and proper maintenance are essential for ensuring the efficiency, top performance, and long life of the Summerset refrigerator. The maintenance intervals provided in the manual are based on normal conditions, but may need to be shortened if there are pets or other specific considerations.
For exterior cleaning, especially for stainless steel models, it's important to be aware that exposure to chlorine gas, pool chemicals, salt water, or cleaners with bleach can cause discoloration. To maintain the appearance, the manual recommends cleaning with a high-quality, all-in-one stainless steel cleaner/polish on a monthly basis. More frequent cleaning may be necessary in some installations to remove surface contamination that could lead to rust. It is explicitly advised not to use steel wool pads or cleaners not specifically intended for stainless steel, such as glass, tile, or counter cleaners, as these can damage or discolor the surface.
If any surface discoloration or rusting appears, it should be cleaned quickly with Bon-Ami or Barkeepers Friend Cleanser and a non-abrasive cloth. Cleaning should always be done in the direction of the grain, followed by a high-quality stainless cleaner/polish to prevent further issues. The use of abrasive pads like Scotchbrite is discouraged as it can blur the graining of the stainless steel. Rust that is allowed to remain can penetrate the stainless steel surface, making it impossible to remove.
For long vacations, if the appliance will not be used for several months, all items should be removed, the appliance turned off, and the interior cleaned and dried thoroughly. To prevent odor and mold growth, the drawers should be left slightly open, blocking them if necessary.
In the event of a power failure, minimizing the number of times the drawers are opened helps maintain the internal temperature for a few hours. For longer power outages, appropriate steps should be taken to protect the contents.
The manual also provides troubleshooting tips for common issues such as the appliance not operating, not being cold enough, frequent cycling, the light not working, excessive noise, or drawers not closing properly. These tips guide users through potential causes and remedies, such as checking power connections, adjusting temperature settings, ensuring drawers are properly closed and sealed, cleaning the condenser, and leveling the appliance. For any issues not resolved by these steps, users are advised to contact a qualified technician.
