Identifying Main Components

Mitsubishi Electronics refrigerators are designed with precision engineering and are equipped with a variety of components. Understanding these parts is crucial for effective maintenance and troubleshooting. Below, we identify the main components:

1. Compressor: This is the heart of the refrigerator’s cooling system. It compresses the refrigerant and circulates it through the fridge.

2. Condenser Coils: These coils dissipate heat from the refrigerant. Typically located at the back or bottom of the fridge, they require regular cleaning to maintain efficiency.

3. Evaporator Coils: Located inside the freezer compartment, these coils are responsible for absorbing heat and lowering the temperature.

4. Thermostat: This component regulates the temperature inside the refrigerator and ensures it stays consistent.

5. Control Panel: Usually found on the front of the fridge, it allows users to adjust settings like temperature, ice maker operation, and energy saver modes.

6. Ice Maker: An automatic feature in many models, it dispenses ice through the door or maintains a supply in a dedicated bin.

7. Water Filter: Vital for ensuring clean water and ice, the filter should be replaced regularly to maintain performance.

8. Shelves and Drawers: These removable components maximize storage and provide easy access to food items.

9. Door Gaskets: These rubber seals ensure the doors close tightly, preventing warm air from entering.

10. Lighting: LED or incandescent bulbs illuminate the interior when the door is opened.

Understanding Model Number and Serial Number

The model number and serial number are essential for identifying the specific refrigerator you own, especially when ordering replacement parts or seeking warranty services.

• Model Number: Usually found on a sticker inside the refrigerator, often in the upper left corner, or on the door frame. This number indicates the particular style and features of your model.

• Serial Number: This number provides the unique identification for your specific unit, usually located near the model number. It is also used to determine the manufacturing date.
