TROUBLESHOOTING 

 

You can solve many common freezer 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 a service 

technician. 
 

PROBLEM 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Unit does not operate. 

Not plugged in. 

The circuit breaker has tripped or fuse has blown. 

The temperature control is set at 

0

.

 

Freezer is not cooling sufficiently. 

Items may be packed too close together, which will 

block the flow of cool air. 

A large number of items may have been put into the 

freezer at the same time. 

Items may have been warm or hot when put into 

freezer. 

Door may not be closed properly, or door gasket may 

be damaged. 

There may be insufficient clearances around freezer. 

Temperature dial may be set improperly. 

Unit seems to be noisy. 

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 the unit. 

Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may 

cause popping and crackling noises. 

The unit is not level. 

Cabinet’s top and side panels become 

warm. 

The top and side panels of the unit will heat up when 

the door is opened frequently, when the unit is first 
started and when the unit operates in summer with 
high ambient temperatures. In such cases, do not 
touch the top and sides of the unit. The warming 
results from the dissipation of the heat from inside 
the cabinet and does not mean that something is 
wrong with the freezer. 

Condensation forms on the outside of 

the freezer. 

Condensation may form when the surrounding 

humidity is high. This does not indicate a 
malfunction. Wipe dry with a clean, soft cloth. 

The door will not close properly. 

The unit is not level. 

The door is reversed and not properly installed. 

The gasket is dirty. 

The shelf is out of position. 

 
If your freezer shows other symptoms than those described above, or if you have checked all 
items listed as the cause and the problem still exists, then call SUMMIT® Customer Service at
