About the 15R
The 15R fits where little else will: next to a dishwasher, at the end of a row of cabinets or beneath a small bar. This 15-inch refrigerator is part of the older 15 series, whose family also takes in the 15 Wine Captain, plus the BI15 ice maker. Its cabinet has aged with the kitchen around it, and the tight opening makes cleaning easy to put off.
Skipped vacuuming lets dust fill the condenser quickly here, since there is so little room around it, and the compressor works harder. On a 15R we clean the coil, then test the aging thermostat, the stiff gasket along the hinge side and the drain tube where water can pool. Last, we replace the worn interior light switch. We quote in writing first.
What we check on a 15R visit
- Condenser coil dust in the tight gap
- Thermostat age and gasket along the hinge side
- Drain tube, interior light and door switch

Why does my 15R warm up in a narrow opening?
Little air surrounds the condenser, so dust slows heat release. We clean the coil and test the thermostat.
There is water inside the base of my 15R. What is wrong?
A drain tube can block and leave water pooled. We clear it, then check the door seal and the interior floor to see where the water is coming from.
