The door gasket does not seal properly.
The freezer does not have the correct clearances.
The freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time.

Temperature inside the freezer is too cold. Temperature control is set too cold. Turn the control to a warmer
setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize.
switch on the “7”, This causes continuous running of the
compressor and bypasses the temperature control.
Temperature of external freezer surface is warm. The exterior freezer walls can be as much as 30°F warmer than
room temperature. This is normal while the compressor works to
transfer heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Popping or cracking sound when compressor
comes on.
Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water
pipes. This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer
continues to run.
Bubbling or gurgling sound, like water boiling. Refrigerant (used to cool freezer) is circulating throughout the
system. This is normal.
Vibrations. Check to assure that the freezer is not on a level surface.
Floor is uneven or weak. Freezer rocks on the oor when
it is moved slightly. Be sure oor can adequately support freezer.
Level the freezer by putting wood or metal shims under part
of the freezer. The freezer is touching the wall. Re-level the
freezer and move it from the wall. See “Installation Instructions”
