Temperature control is set too warm. Turn the
control to a cooler setting and allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
Door is kept open too long or is opened too
frequentlly. Warm air enters the freezer every
time the door is opened. Open the door less
often.
The door is not closed completely.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
A large amount of warm or hot food might have
been stored recently. Walt until the freezer has
had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
The freezer has recently been disconnected for a
period of time. Four hotrs are required for the
freezer to cool down completely.
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°F warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Louder sound levels whenever freezer is on. Modern freezers have increased storage capacity
and more even temperatures. They require high
efficiency compressors. When the surrounding
noise level is low, you might hear the compressor
running while it cools the interior.
Louder sound levels when compressor comes
on.
Freezer operates at higher pressures during the
start of the ON cycle. This is normal. Sound will
level off or disappear as freezer continues to run..
