The RB is a Beverage-Air bottom-mount reach-in, with its refrigeration compartment under the food space. Plate numbers such as RB12HC-1S, RB19HC-1G and RB19HC-1S give the width and door type. Fifteen numbers are listed for the line.
Because the condenser sits near the floor, it draws dust, flour and mop-water mist straight into the fins. A bottom-mount box that runs warm in the afternoon is often just short of air. We clean the coil and clear the space around the base first, then check the gaskets, the fans and the control. The drain pan sits low as well, so we look at it for overflow.
If the cabinet sits tight against a wall, we tell you how much clearance it needs.

By afternoon the kitchen is hot and the floor-level condenser is loaded with dust. The compressor then cannot reject heat fast enough. Cleaning the coil usually brings the cabinet back.
Can I mop around the base?
Yes, but keep water out of the base openings and avoid spraying the condenser. Moisture and dust together form a paste that clogs the fins and is hard to clean.
What does an E01 mean on an RB?
On a Danfoss control it means sensor S1 is not reporting. The cabinet may keep cooling in a fallback mode, but we test the sensor and its wiring soon.
