Troubleshooting
Try these solutions first to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call.
The freezer will not operate:
Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
The compressor seems to run too much:
Is there excessive frost or a package preventing a drawer from
closing completely?
Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the package so the drawer
closes properly.
Is the room temperature warmer than normal?
The compressor will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, it will run about 40% to 80% of the time. Under warmer
conditions, it will run even more.
Have a large number of items just been added to the freezer?
Adding a large amount warms the freezer. The compressor will normally
run longer to cool the freezer back down.
Are the drawers closed completely?
Push the drawers firmly shut. If they will not shut all the way, see The
drawers will not close completely later in this section.
Are the condenser coils dirty (on some models)?
This prevents heat transfer and makes the compressor work harder.
Clean the condenser coils.
Are the drawer gaskets sealed all the way around?
If not, contact a qualified technician.
Temperature is too warm:
Are the air vents blocked?
This prevents cold air movement. Move objects away from the air vents.
Are the drawers opened often?
Be aware that the freezer will warm when this occurs. In order to keep
the freezer cool, try to get everything you need out of the freezer at
once, keep items organized so they are easier to find, and close the
drawer as soon as the items are removed.
The drawers will not close completely or are difficult to open:
Are packages blocking the drawer?
Rearrange containers so that they fit more tightly and take up less
space.
Are the drawers out of position?
Reset the drawers back into their correct position (see page 6).
