position between the thinner and 
thicker end of the sign.

Continuous or very long
operation.

Cover open too long.

Thermostat knob set to a setting 
that is too low.

has the condenser unit installed on 
the back wall of the appliance).

Thermostat knob is in the super freeze position (signal light

 is on).

The freezer chest is vibrating or
making too much noise.

spacers and that the food is not 
preventing the cover from being 
fully closed.

The appliance has not reached the set temperature yet.

•  Too large quantity of insuffi ciently cooled food will increase the
