Temperature inside the freezer is too cold. Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the
control to a warmer setting and allow several
hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Fast Freeze switch is turned on. This causes
continuous running of the compressor and
bypasses the temperature control.
Temperature of external freezer surface is warm. The exterior freezer walls can be as much as
30 ο F warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Popping or cracking sound when compressor
comes on. Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction,
as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound will
level off or disappear as freezer continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling. Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is circulating
throughout the system. This is normal.
Vibrations. Check to assure that the freezer is on a level
surface.
Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the
floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure floor can
adequately support freezer. Level the freezer by
putting wood or metal shims under part of the
freezer.
The freezer is touching the wall. Re-level the
freezer and move it from the wall.
See “Installation Instructions”.
Moisture forms on inside freezer walls. Weather is hot and humid, which increases
internal rate of frost build-up. This is normal.
Door is slightly open.
Door is kept open too long, or is opened too
frequently. Open the door less often.
The door is not sealed properly.
Moisture forms on outside of freezer. Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside
the freezer to meet warm moist air from outside.
The door will not close properly. The freezer is not on a level surface.
The gasket is dirty.
The storage basket is out of position.
