• The freezer storage shelves should not be lined with aluminum foil, wax paper, 

or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air circulation, making the freezer 
less efficient.

• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. 

Remove as many items as needed at one time, and close the door as soon as 
possible.

Understanding Alerts

High Temp Alert

The freezer is having trouble maintaining a cold temperature. You will get this 
alert if:

• FREEZER MODE: the inside temperature is over 18° F (-8° C) for 36 hours.
• FRIDGE MODE: If the inside temperature is over 59° F (15° C) for 36 hours.

The LED on control panel turns on and a beep sounds. If the temperature returns 
to a normal range, the alert turns off. You can also press any button to turn it off. 
Here are some possible causes:

• The room is too warm. For example, the freezer is in a garage in the summer 

next to a car with a hot engine.

• The ventilation openings are blocked or dusty.
• There is too much frost build up.
• There are door seal gaps.

Door Open Alert

If the door is open for more than five minutes, the door open alert is activated a 
buzzer sounds intermittently. Close the door to turn off the alert and check to 
make sure that nothing is blocking the door, preventing it from closing. Also, 
check to make sure that the freezer is level. An unlevel freezer may prevent the 
door from closing properly.

How do I reset my freezer to factory defaults?

1

Press and hold Lock for three seconds to unlock the control panel.

2

Press the 

Lock

 and 

+

 buttons at the same time for three seconds to reset the 

freezer to factory defaults. The panel beeps and all of the indicators turn on for 
three seconds. If the compressor is running, it pauses for five minutes, then 
restarts.

Troubleshooting
