Have your technician check the defrost termination temperature. They set
them at 50º at the factory. In our area we've been setting them at 70º. The
available termination temperatures are 50º, 70º, 90º and 100º. The higher
the termination temperature the more energy will be used during defrost but
the defrost should be more complete.
