Problem Possible cause
The freezer does not work.
• It is not plugged in.
• The circuit breaker tripped or a blown fuse.
• The thermostat knob is set to the minimum
position.
The compressor turns on and
o󰀨 frequently. Does that indicate
that there is a problem?
• The room temperature is hotter than normal.
• A large amount of food has been added to
the freezer.
• The lid is being opened too often.
• The lid is not closed completely.
• The temperature control is not set correctly.
• The lid gasket does not seal properly.
• The freezer does not have the correct
ventilation clearances.
• The freezer has recently been disconnected
for a period of time. At least 2 hours are
required for the freezer to cool down with the
thermostat set to the highest (super) position.
The temperature inside the
freezer is too warm.
• The temperature control is set too warm.
Turn the control to a cooler setting and allow
several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
• The lid is kept open too long or is opened
too frequently. Warm air enters the freezer
every time the lid is opened. Open the lid
less often.
• The lid is not closed completely.
• The lid 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. At least 2 hours are
required for the freezer to cool down with the
thermostat set to the MAX position.
