PROBLEM
CHECK THE FOLLOWING
Freezer stops
• Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with the
running
proper voltage?
• Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
• Has local power failed?
• Is the Temperature Control set to a numbered setting?
Motor seems to
run too long
• Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door from
closing? Defrost and clean freezer or move package so door
closes properly.
• Has a large amount of unfrozen food been added to the
freezer? The motor will naturally run longer. Add no more
unfrozen food at one time than will freeze in 24 hours -
approximately 2-3 lbs. per cubic foot of freezer space.
• Is the day hot and muggy or the room too warm? The motor will
naturally run longer to provide the correct amount
of cooling.
• Is there enough air circulation space around the freezer? See
“Choosing the proper location” on page 6.
