Sub-Zero Temperature Fluctuations
Topics:
- How much will the temperature change in a Sub-Zero?
- What is a normal temperature variance in a refrigerator or freezer?
- Is it normal for temperatures to fluctuate in a Sub-Zero?
Answer:
It is normal for temperatures to fluctuate slightly (+/- 5°F) in a Sub-Zero refrigeration product depending on external influences. An open door, humidity, and room temperature can all affect temperatures.
- If the temperature is too high, try cleaning the condenser. For instructions, refer to Clean the Condenser.
- New groceries or warm food will raise temperatures for a time. Temperatures should return to normal after several hours.
- If the temperature fluctuations are extreme after cleaning the condenser and external influences are ruled out, contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.
