Assistance Or Service - Whirlpool Upright Freezer Use & Care Manual

Temperature is too warm
■
Are the air vents blocked? This prevents cold air movement.
Move objects away from the air vents. See "Ensuring Proper
Air Circulation" for air vent locations.
■ Is the door opened often? Be aware that the freezer will
warm when this occurs. In order to keep the freezer cool, try
to get everything you need out of the freezer at once, keep
food organized so it is easy to find, and close the door as
soon as the food is removed.
■ Has a large amount of food just been added to the
freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer. It
can take several hours for the freezer to return to the normal
temperature.
■ Is the control set correctly for the surrounding
conditions? See "Using the Control."
The door will not close completely or is difficult to open
■ Are food packages blocking the door ? Rearrange
containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less
space.
■
Are the shelves and basket out of position (on some
models)? Put the shelves and basket back into their correct
positions.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Use nonflammable cleaner.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
■ Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets according to
the directions in "Freezer Care."
■ Does the freezer wobble or seem unstable? See "Adjust
the Door."
The freezer clicks but does not run
■
Has the local power failed? Unplug the freezer for
30 minutes to allow the refrigeration system to equalize.
During this time, keep the door closed whenever possible.
