TROUBLESHOOTING 

You can solve many common appliance problems easily, saving you the cost of a possible service 
call. Try the suggestions below to see if you can solve the problem before calling the servicer. 
 

PROBLEM 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Freezer does not operate.

 

Not plugged in. 
Circuit breaker has tripped or fuse has blown. 
The freezer temperature control is set at 

OFF

.

 

Turns on and off frequently.

 

The room temperature is warmer than normal. 
A large number of items have been added to 

the freezer. 

The door is opened too often. 
The door is not closed completely. 
The temperature control is not set correctly. 
The door gasket does not seal properly.

clearances.

 

Vibrations

 

Check to be sure the appliance is level.

 

The freezer seems to make too much noise.

 

A rattling noise may come from the flow of the 

refrigerant, which is normal. 

As each cycle ends, you may hear gurgling 

sounds caused by the flow of refrigerant in 
your freezer. 

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls 

may cause popping and crackling noises. 

The freezer is not level.

 

The door will not close properly.

 

The freezer is not level. 
The door was reversed and not properly 

installed. 

The gasket is dirty. 
Shelves, bins, or baskets are out of position.
