CS1311

Most common issues on this model

1. Vegetable drawers that no longer glide or close, letting cold air escape
2. Refrigerator warming from a sticky damper or a slow evaporator fan
3. Freezer frost from the automatic defrost slowing down
4. Gasket on the left-hinged door that has lost compression
5. LED lighting that dims or goes out

Compact kitchens and secondary spaces such as a garage kitchenette or a guest suite make sense for the CS1311, a 24-inch freestanding unit with the freezer below and the door hinged on the left. At 13 cubic feet total, it carries a lot for its footprint, and the full-extension vegetable drawers take daily use.

Those drawers are where age shows first. Runners dry out, a drawer that sits crooked leaves a gap, and cold air spills into the room. We check the drawer travel, the gasket, and the damper that meters air into the refrigerator side, then the freezer defrost and the fans.

This model can be paired with a matching CS 1360 as a side-by-side set, and we keep the neighbor in place while we work. Written price first, 30-day workmanship warranty after.
