PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Temperature inside
the freezer is too
warm.
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. 4 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 on a level surface. 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.
See “Installation Instructions”.
Moisture forms on
inside freezer walls.
Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of
frost build-up. This is normal.
Door is slightly open.
Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently.
Open the door less often.
The door is not sealed properly.
Moisture forms on
outside of freezer.
Door is slightly open, causing cold air from inside the freezer
to meet warm moist air from outside.
The door will not close
properly.
The freezer is not on a level surface. The gasket is dirty.
The storage basket is out of position.
