sures during the start of the ON
cycle.
• Metal parts undergo expansion and
contraction, as in hot water pipes.
• Refrigerant (used to cool freezer)
is circulating throughout the
system.
• Freezer is not level. It rocks on the
floor when it is moved slightly.
• Floor is uneven or weak.
• Freezer is touching the wall.

creases internal rate of frost buildup.

• Door is kept open too long.

the freezer.

lights because one or both doors
were left open too long.
