TROUBLESHOOTING 

You can solve many common freezer problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service call. Try the 
suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the servicer. 

 

Troubleshooting Guide 

PROBLEM 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Freezer does not operate.

 

Not plugged in. 
Circuit breaker tripped or fuse blown. 
The freezer temperature control is set at OFF.

 

Compressor turns on and off frequently.

 

The room temperature is hotter than normal. 
A large amount of food has been added to the 

freezer. 

The door is open 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 inside the freezer is too warm. 

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 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. 

Popping or cracking sound when compressor 

comes on. 

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. 

Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling. 

Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is circulating 

throughout the system. This is normal. 

Vibrations.

 

Check to assure that the freezer is level.     
Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the 

floor when it is moved slightly. Be sure floor 
can adequately support freezer. Level the 
freezer by putting wood or metal shims under 
part of the freezer. 

The freezer is touching the wall.  Re-level the 

freezer and move it from the wall.
