Refigerator is not cooling. I can't get it below 61. I try to put it to 36F, but it goes right back up to 61F. Freezer is working well.

If your problemis that the unit doesn not maintain the desired temperature, my unit's temp did the same thing after a month or so. having nowhere to turn, I solved the problem by putting one of those frozen containers that come with plastic beverage and food coolers on the top shelve of the left compartment. I then kept entering the desired temp several times for both compartments. It took two shots with the frozen pack, but it worked. Both sides now hold their set temp.Goog luck.bluefox803@aol.com

I haven't checked mine, but it's nowhere close to 140-150F; it's more in the 200F Range. Something is definitely wrong with your Machine.Did you descale it regularly? Maybe that's something to look at.

I have unplugged my freezer which the Ranco controls the temperature. I do not reset the unit it stays on settings until they are manually changed.

Don't thank it goes that cold bud ! You could build a box for it and insulate the box I think it goes to 10 degrees ! I'll check when I get home and let you know for sure !!

Sounds like it may be the electric control unit may be defective (have a short in it) If still under warranty call Co and request new one--it is the temp control as the unit itself can tlerate heat--mine will go above 600 deg. Good Luck, Anne

I set up my AC, tried your situation and have the same results, I think it is working fine. I would suggest that you wait for the cooling temp get to the point that the compressor turns off and see if the fan cycles like it should. Good luck.

Worked great on ours, we are waiting now for the factory parts to arrive.fridge is in the garage running fine for a week, temp is 30 in fridge and 0 in freezer. Web pros say it's not good to leave it on due to stress on compressor.

to some point, how cold does it get out side? I had it in a room 12x24 and it ran all the time and never got above 0 c, it was -20 outside

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41º F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

This is odd my fridge is so amazing and quiet and keeps things perfect~~ love the size and the fact it will not freeze it just keeps things perfect!! sorry that you must have a defective one~~ i also bought the extended warrenty but do not need it as of yet~~ hope i never do~~

Did you try and replace the heating element with the spare one that comes with the set? At 217 degrees, that's not even close to melting solder. I know my station has to be set about 100 degrees higher than where I normally would set it, which tells me that the thermostat isn't very accurate, but other than that I've used mine to build hundreds of circuit boards at home and actually prefer my solder station over the ones I use at work. If the 2nd heating element doesn't work, I would contact the seller.

I've had my garage (400sqft) down to 70 degrees. The outside temp today was 92 (heat index of 101). I would check the insulation above the bedroom and other possible factors, maybe even a bad unit.

At least make sure that there is ample ventilation in the location around your freezer. For the one in my motorhome, I install one of those 4" computer fan through the wall of the compartment, then I monitored the compressor run time during hot days when in Southern Texas and there is not much difference than on cooler days. Change of air around the cooling coil at the back and compressor will ensure that your freezer will last a normal life.

Cynthia, I honestly don't know. Temperatures here can reach well below zero and I haven't had any issues with real cold temps. My guess if water did get on the compressor and found a way into the compressor itself, cold temps may have frozen and expanded some components causing it to fail. Similiar to a cracked engine block of a motor boat that wasn't winterized properly. Again, only a guess as my unit thankfully continues to operate without issues.

Mine is only about 6 months old, but I run mine at 91° and it has worked great so far. Maybe check that it is installed according to specifications? Or you may have a defective unit.
