Overview of Key Components

Understanding the key components of your Goodman Mfg refrigerator is crucial for maintenance and troubleshooting. Here’s a breakdown of its essential parts:

1. Compressor: This is the heart of the refrigeration process, compressing the refrigerant and circulating it through the system.
2. Condenser Coils: Located at the back or the bottom, these coils are responsible for dissipating heat as the refrigerant passes through.
3. Evaporator Coils: Found inside the freezer compartment, these coils absorb heat from food items to create a cooling effect.
4. Thermostat: This regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator, ensuring your food remains fresh.
5. Defrost Heater: Prevents frost build-up on the evaporator coils, keeping the fridge running efficiently.
6. Door Seals/Gaskets: These ensure a tight seal when the refrigerator doors are closed, maintaining the internal temperature.
