On some freezer models, you might hear an alarm or a
“buzzer sound” if the freezer’s temperature rises above
20˚F. If you do hear it, simply turn the Temp-Alarm off
until
the temperature is again below 20˚F. It’s also a good
idea to
check that your freezer is level, and that its door closes
freely and with a proper seal. Once you close your
freezer
door, leave it closed so the freezer temperature can
decrease

Odors in your freezer can be caused by how food is
stored.
Some foods have a strong odor, so be sure to cover
them
tightly. Sometimes odors can also be caused by certain
containers and wrapping materials (such as paper, foil,
or
plastic). If you think this might be the case, try using
different containers or a different brand of wrapping
material.
After you’ve checked how your food is stored, try
cleaning
the interior of your freezer with a sponge, warm water,
and
baking soda

If the door or lid of your freezer is open slightly, it can
cause
the cold air from inside to meet the warm, moist outside
air.
This can result in moisture being produced on the
outside of
the freezer. High humidity can also produce the same
result.

If the freezer temperature is colder than you’d like, turn the
control knob to a lower number and allow 24 hours for the
temperature to stabilize

Yes, this is normal. These sounds can be caused by the
freezer’s metal parts as they expand and contract with
temperature changes, or by the circulation of the
refrigerant
that’s used to cool the freezer. The sounds will level off
or
disappear entirely as your freezer continues to run

Check to see if the bulb is burned out, and if it is, replace
it with
an appliance bulb of the same wattage. If the bulb isn’t
burned
out but the light is still off, there might not be electricity
running to the freezer. If this is the case, the safety
signal light
outside the freezer will also be off

If your freezer won’t close, it might be because the lid
does
not tightly fit the shape of the unit. The lid is designed to
be
flexible, allowing it to conform to the unit. If you notice
that
the lid is wrapping at one corner and/or not forming a
tight
fit, simply raise it and allow it to close sharply—this will
help
reestablish a tight fit
