The circuit breaker tripped or blown fuse.
The freezer temperature control is set at "OFF".
The room temperature is hotter than normal.
A large amount of food has been added to the
freezer.
The door is opened too often.
The door is not closed completely.
The temperature control is not set correctly.
The door gasket does not seal properly.
The freezer does not have the correct
clearances.
The freezer has recently been disconnected for a
period of time. Four hours are required for the
freezer to cool down completely.
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
frequently. 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. Wait until the freezer has
had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
The freezer has recently been disconnected for a
period of time. Four hours are required for the
freezer to cool down completely.
Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the
control to a warmer setting and allow several
hours for the temperature to stabilize.
Switch on the "7", This causes continuous
running of the compressor and bypasses the
temperature control.
The exterior freezer walls can be as much as
ο
30 F warmer than room temperature. This is
normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
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.
Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is circulating
throughout the system. This is normal.
