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.

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.

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.

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

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.
