Who provides official service for Sharp in Israel?
Ralco Agencies is the official importer of Sharp in Israel. Marom is the official service provider on its behalf for Sharp products. In other words, our service is not a general private service. It is part of the brand's official service chain.
Marom technicians are specially certified to repair Sharp refrigerators. They know the model series, the language of faults and the original parts. Therefore, they quickly locate the source of the problem and return the refrigerator to normal operation.
The difference between an official service and a private technician is fundamental. A private technician usually fits generic parts, and is not always familiar with Sharp technologies. An official service works with original spare parts only, and with the importer. This way, every repair is based on accurate information from the manufacturer, and a reliable parts inventory.

A genuine part is the difference between a repair that lasts and a repair that repeats. The Marom spare parts catalog has genuine spare parts for Sharp refrigerators by model. The catalog includes shelves, drawers, seals and lids.
The three most sought-after parts are a glass shelf for the food compartment , a vegetable drawer for the top freezer , and a rubber door seal . Each part fits specific models, so it is important to check the model before ordering.
Micha Eitan recommends: The vegetable drawer lid is the best-selling part for the Sharp 4-door. It is fragile, and replacing it is simple and does not require a technician.

Shabbat Mehadrin mode in Sharp refrigerators
This is the angle that sets Sharp apart in Israel. Sharp refrigerators include a built-in Shabbat Mehadrin mechanism. The mechanism was developed by Ralco with Sharp engineers, with the approval of the Technological Institute for Halacha. It is installed on the production line under Japanese quality control.
The mechanism is computerized. It operates the cooling system according to a predetermined schedule. During operation, there is no lighting, no button sounds, and no sensors are activated when the door is opened. The temperature is set in advance, before entering Shabbat mode.
How do you activate Shabbat Mehadrin mode?
Pre-set the temperature for the refrigerator and freezer compartments. During Shabbat mode, it is locked.
Locate the Sabbath mode button on the digital display. The location varies slightly from model to model.
Choose the duration of operation, between 40 and 80 hours, depending on the length of the holiday.
Confirm the activation. The refrigerator will continue to cool without lights or sounds until the time is up.
Operation and maintenance of a Sharp refrigerator
Sharp's refrigerator relies on several unique technologies. The J-Tech Inverter motor operates at a variable, low speed, saving electricity. The Plasmacluster system shoots ions that neutralize mold and bacteria, keeping food fresh.
In the 4-door models, the cooling is hybrid. The cold is distributed through an aluminum plate, gently and not in a spot. This way, the vegetables are better preserved and are not damaged by direct heat. The LED lighting system illuminates the interior of the refrigerator brightly.
Proper maintenance extends the life of your refrigerator. Clean the rear coils of dust every few months. Make sure there is a 5 to 10 cm air gap from the wall. Check that the interior ventilation openings are not blocked by food scraps. These simple actions maintain cooling efficiency.
