Frequently Asked Questions
•What is the best way to defrost my refrigerator?
The best way is to unplug the refrigerator and leave the doors open for several hours, allowing the ice to melt naturally. Place towels inside to absorb the water. You can speed up the process with a hairdryer, but be careful not to overheat any components.
•How do I safely discharge a capacitor?
Use a 20,000-ohm resistor with alligator clips on each end. Clip one end to each terminal of the capacitor. This will slowly discharge the capacitor over several minutes. Never attempt to discharge a capacitor by shorting it with a screwdriver, as this can be dangerous.
•Where can I find replacement parts for my Roper refrigerator?
Replacement parts can be found at most appliance parts retailers, both online and in brick-and-mortar stores. Be sure to have the model number of your refrigerator handy to ensure you order the correct parts.
