Tips on saving energy
• Locate your freezer in the coolest area of the room, away from heat producing appliances or heating ducts and out of
direct sunlight.
• Let hot foods cool to room temperature before placing them in your freezer. Overloading your freezer forces the
compressor to run longer. Foods that freeze too slowly may lose quality or spoil.
• Wrap foods correctly and wipe containers dry before placing them in your freezer. This cuts down on frost build-up
inside your freezer.
• Do not line the freezer storage basket with aluminum foil, wax paper, or paper toweling. Liners interfere with cold air
circulation and make your freezer less efficient.
• Organize and label food to reduce door openings and extended searches. Remove as many items as needed at one
time, and close the door as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting
PROBLEM SOLUTION
My freezer does not work.
• Make sure that your freezer is securely plugged into a working
outlet.
• Make sure that your power source has the correct voltage. Your
freezer’s voltage rate is on a label on the back of your freezer.
• Check the house fuse or circuit breaker box and replace the fuse
or reset the circuit breaker.
• If a power failure occurs, the freezer turns off. Wait until the
power is restored.
The freezer has a bad odor.
• Make sure that all food with a strong odor (like onions) is
wrapped or stored in airtight packaging.
• Certain containers and wrapping materials (such as paper, foil,
or plastic) can cause odors. If you think this might be the case,
try using different containers or a different brand of wrapping
material.
• Check for spoiled food and remove it.
• Clean the inside of your freezer. See Defrosting your freezer on
page 8.
The freezer door does not close
completely.
• Make sure that no food packages are in the way.
• Make sure that the door gasket (seal) is clean. See Defrosting
your freezer on page 8.
• If the door gasket does not seal, try heating then cooling the
seal. You can use an electric hair dryer to heat the seal.
• Make sure that your freezer is level.
• Make sure that the storage basket is in the proper position.
The freezer door is hard to open.
• When you open the freezer door, warm air rushes inside. When
you close the door, the warm air rushes to the condenser which
causes a vacuum. This causes the door to be hard to open for
about 10 to 15 seconds after closing.
• If the door is hard to open at other times, try rubbing paraffin
wax or petroleum jelly along the edges of the entire gasket.
Paraffin wax is used for canning and is safe for use around food.
The compressor runs for a long
time or turns on and off
frequently.
The compressor runs longer if:
• The room temperature is high.
• You just added a large amount of food. Wait for the food to
freeze, then check again.
• You open and close the door frequently.
• The door gasket is dirty. Clean the gasket. See Defrosting your
freezer on page 8.
• Your freezer has been disconnected for a period of time. Wait for
your freezer to cool (about four hours) before adding food.
• You have the temperature set too low. Set the control knob to a
higher temperature.
The freezer makes unusual noises
or vibrations.
• Metal parts expand and contract as the temperature changes.
This is normal.
• When the refrigerant is circulating throughout the system, your
freezer may make noises. This is normal.
• Remove items from the top of your freezer.
• Make sure that your freezer is level.
• If your freezer is touching walls, move it away from the walls.
• Make sure that the shelves are installed correctly.
