Common Solution
• Use another circuit. If you are
unsure about the outlet, have it
checked by a qualified electrician.
• See CONTROLS AND
SETTINGS section.
• Ensure plug is tightly pushed into
the outlet.
• Check/replace fuse with a
15-amp time delay fuse. Reset
circuit breaker.
• Check house lights. Call a
qualified electrician.
• Place the appliance in a
location consistent with the
temperature range for which it
was designed. See Location in
the INSTALLATION section.
• It's normal for the appliance to work
longer under these conditions.
• It takes 4 hours for the appliance
to cool down completely.
• Warm food will cause freezer to
run more until the desired tem-
perature is reached.
• Warm air entering the appliance
causes it to run more. Open door
less often.
• Ensure door is tightly closed.
• Turn temperature control knob to a
warmer setting. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket. Leaks
in door seal will cause the appli-
ance to run longer in order to
maintain desired temperatures.
• Deactivate Freeze Boost switch.
