Freezer Does Not Operate:

• Check if freezer is plugged in.

•  Check if there is power at the ac outlet, by checking the 

circuit breaker.

•  Wait for 30-40 minutes to see whether freezer will start. Compressor 

cycle must be complete to operate.

•  Make sure temperature control is not set to “ON”  

setting for extended period of time.

 

Food temperature is too cold:

 

•  If temperature control setting is too cold, adjust to a warmer setting 

and allow several hours for temperature to adjust.

Compressor runs too frequently:

 

•       This may be normal to maintain constant temperature during 

high temperature and humid days.

 •  Doors may have been opened frequently or for an extended 

period of time.

• Check gasket for proper seal. 

• Check to see if doors are completely closed.

•  Check freezer compartment for blockage from 

frozen food packages, containers, etc.
