T30IR100SP

What we most often repair on units like this

1. Fresh-food side holding warm after a big grocery load
2. Hands-free door assist stops responding
3. Lighting uneven between the upper and lower zones
4. Wi-Fi notifications dropped by the home network
5. Water on the base shelf from a blocked defrost drain

A 30-inch refrigerator column with no freezer attached is the sort of unit a big family keeps for produce and drinks, usually next to a freezer column in a paneled wall. The T30IR100SP gives 29 3/4 inches of width and a door that opens on its own with the hands-free feature, which is both its charm and its most common reason for a call.

When the door assist stops, we look at the sensor, the motor and the weight of the panel; a heavier overlay than the system expects is a regular cause. When food is warm, we look at the evaporator fan, the door seal and SuperCool, which should drop the temperature quickly when engaged.

Every column in this family needs the cabinet to be plumb, so we confirm the four leveling legs and check that the panel reveal around the door is even before we put it back into the opening.
