3. Produktet er slutview
The Frigidaire 5303918301 Garage Heater Kit consists of a heating element designed to be installed near the refrigerator's thermostat. This element generates a small amount of heat, which helps to trick the refrigerator's internal thermostat into believing the ambient temperature is warmer than it actually is. This action ensures the compressor cycles more frequently, maintaining proper cooling and freezing temperatures within the appliance, especially in cold garage environments.

Once installed, the garage heater kit operates automatically. It provides a localized heat source to the refrigerator's thermostat, preventing the thermostat from prematurely shutting off the compressor due to low ambient temperatures. This ensures the refrigerator continues to cycle as needed to maintain internal temperatures, preventing food spoilage and freezer thawing in cold garage environments.
6. Vedligeholdelse
The Frigidaire 5303918301 Garage Heater Kit is designed for minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect the wiring and the heating element for any signs of damage or wear. Ensure the adhesive remains secure. If any issues are observed, disconnect power and address them promptly. No routine cleaning or lubrication is required for the heater kit itself.
7. Fejlfinding
If your refrigerator is still experiencing issues after installing the garage heater kit, consider the following:
- Refrigerator Not Cooling/Freezing Properly: Verify that the heater kit is properly connected and functioning. Check for any loose wires or dislodged adhesive. Ensure the refrigerator door seals are intact and not allowing cold air to escape.
- Refrigerator Running Too Long: This could indicate that the heater kit is working, but other factors might be contributing to excessive run time, such as a dirty condenser coil or a faulty thermostat.
- No Power to Heater Kit: Check the electrical connections and ensure the refrigerator is receiving power.
