    I wish they would at least put one service valve on these units.

    Delfield’s electronic control is programmed to start in defrost.    Plug in the freezer and wait 40 min.  It has to initialize.  Door must be closed.  It will then test cycle the evaporator fan, condenser fan, and compressor.  Once the compressor and condenser fan starts and runs constant,  the evaporator fan will start after the coil cool’s to below freezing.

    I forgot, this manual explains it.  Make sure you are reading for FREEZER.
