---+++MBB Freezer Failure There is a backup -80 located in MBB room 1.138. If we need to move our items to this freezer follow the procedure outlined below: <br> 1. Affix a label to the outside of the freezer stating which shelf(ves) you are using. <br> 2. Label your materials. <br> 3. Be aware that as the door will be opened continually it will go into alarm, which will be received by the alarm monitoring shop. <br> 4. Please call them BEFORE you start the transfer of materials at 471.3935 to warn them that they needn't therefore call Rob (building manager) at 2.00 in the morning. <br> 5-16-14 According to Rob the outgoing phone number for the MBB freezer is (512) 471-3344. This should be verified as unchanged after next wave of repairs from "black box". ---+++Welch Freezer Failure ---+++Preventive maintenance Try to minimize the amount of time that the freezer door is open; if necessary, remove the rack or box from freezer, close door, find your stuff, and return rack/box to freezer. <br> *Maintenance checklist* |Action| Monthy | Yearly | |Check and clean probe cover, gaskets, hinges and lid(s) of ice and snow| yes | | |Check air filter| yes | | |Check condenser fan motor for unusual motor noise or vibration| | yes | To clean lid gasket use a soft cloth to remove any frost build-up from the gasket, sub-lids and lids.
