Troubleshooting 

Problem 

Possible Causes 

Solutions 

Freezer external surface is 
warm 

The external freezer walls can be
as much as 30°F warmer than
room temperature

This is normal while the compressor
works to transfer heat from inside the
freezer cabinet

Moisture forms on inside 
freezer walls 

Weather is hot and humid, which
increases internal rate of frost
buildup

Door may not be seating properly

Door is kept open too long, or is
opened too frequently

This is normal

Check door installation

Open the door less often

Odors in freezer 

Interior needs to be cleaned

Food with strong odors are in the
freezer

Clean interior with sponge, warm water,
and baking soda

Many common portable freezer problems are easily resolved. Try the troubleshooting suggestions below to 

see if the problems can be resolved before having to contact the service department.
