Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the FF7LWADA a medical-grade refrigerator?

A: No, the FF7LWADA is not a medical-grade unit. It is designed for general-purpose and commercial storage, such as food or beverages. For storing sensitive materials like vaccines, it's best to consult Accucold’s product specialists or explore their dedicated medical and laboratory refrigeration lines.

Q: Is the FF7LWADA suitable for built-in installation?

A: No, the FF7LWADA is a freestanding model and requires proper ventilation clearance on the back, sides, and top. For built-in applications, consider the FF7BIADA model, which is specifically designed for that purpose.

Q: The refrigerator isn’t cooling properly. What should I check?

A:

• Power Supply: Make sure the unit is plugged into a grounded 3-prong outlet and that the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped.
• Ventilation: Ensure the unit has sufficient airflow and is not placed near heat sources like ovens or grills.
• Door Seal: Check that the door closes fully and the gasket is intact with no obstructions.
• Ambient Temperature: High room temperatures can cause the motor to run longer than usual, affecting cooling performance.

Q: Why is there excessive ice or frost buildup on the back wall?

A:

• Defrost System: While the unit has an automatic defrost feature, excess frost can indicate an issue.
• Temperature Setting: The thermostat might be set too cold—try adjusting it to a slightly warmer setting.
• Airflow: Make sure nothing is blocking the drain hole at the bottom rear of the interior.

• Door Gasket: A poor seal can let warm, moist air inside, leading to frost. Check that the gasket seals tightly all around the door.
