TROUBLE SHOOTING 

 
If the unit malfunctions, check out the following before calling for service. 
 

Malfunction Check/Remedy 

The chamber is not cooled 
at all

 

 The circuit breaker of power source is active. 

 The voltage is too low (In this case, call an electrician). 

 The power is not supplied.   

 The breaker is free. 

 The large amount of articles (load) is stored in the chamber at one 

time.

 

The cooling is poor

 

 The ambient temperature is too high. 

 The latch of inner door is not closed completely.    The outer door 

is not closed firmly.    (The frost or ice between the cabinet and door 
gasket possibly prevents door seal.) 

 The air intake vent is blocked. 

 The condenser filter is clogged.  Always clean the condenser 

filter when the filter check lamp is lit. 

 The outer door is not shut tightly. 

 The inner door is not installed correctly. 

 The set temperature in the controller is not set properly. 

 The freezer is in the direct sunlight. 

 There is any heating source near the freezer. 

 A rubber cap and insulation are not set correctly on the access 

port. 

 You put too many unfrozen articles into the chamber.

 

Alarm test key cannot 
actuate the alarm

 

 The alarm is activated only when the power switch is ON. 

 When only the buzzer or only the alarm is actuated by the alarm test 

key, the unactuated part is out of order, and must be replaced.

 

Note: 

If the malfunction is not eliminated after checking the above items, or the malfunction is not shown in 
the above table, contact our sales representative or agent.
