The temperature inside the Chest
Freezer is too cold.
The temperature control is set too cold.
Turn the temperature control to a warmer set-
ting and allow several hours for the temperature
to stabilise.
There is a popping or cracking
sound when the compressor
comes on.
Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as
in hot water pipes.
This is normal and the sound will level off or
disappear as the freezer continues to run.
There is a bubbling or gurgling
sound like water boiling.
The refrigerant (used to cool the chest freezer) is
circulating throughout the system.
This is normal.
The chest freezer is vibrating.
The floor is uneven.
Check to ensure that the chest freezer is level.
Level the freezer using wedges if required.
The freezer is touching the wall.
Remove the freezer from the wall and ensure
adequate clearances.
Moisture forms on inside freezer
walls.
The chest freezer door is slightly open, causing
cold air from inside the freezer to meet the warm
moist air from outside the freezer.
Ensure the chest freezer door completely closes
and has a complete seal.
The Chest Freezer door won’t
completely close.
The freezer isn’t level.
Re-level the Chest Freezer.
The gasket seals are dirty.
Use warm soapy water to clean the gasket seals.
The storage basket is out of position or there is too
much food.
Re-position the storage basket to ensure it
doesn’t interfere with the door, or remove any
excess food preventing the door from closing.
