It's normal for the freezer to work harder under these
conditions.
It takes 4 hours for the freezer to cool down completely.
• Warm food will cause freezer to run more until the
desired temperature is reached.
• Warm air entering the freezer causes it to run more.
Open doors less often.
• See "DOOR PROBLEMS" Section.
• Turn control knob to a warmer setting. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
• Clean or change gasket. Leaks in the door seal will cause
freezer to run longer in order to maintain desired
temperature.
• Turn the control to a warmer setting. Allow several hours
for the temperature to stabilize.
• Turn control to a colder setting. Allow several hours for the
temperature to stabilize.
• Warm air enters the freezer every time the door is
opened. Open the door less often.
• See "DOOR PROBLEMS" Section.
• Wait until the freezer has had a chance to reach its
selected temperature.
• Freezer requires 4 hours to cool down completely.
• This is normal while the compressor works to transfer
heat from inside the freezer cabinet.
Louder sound levels whenever
freezer is on.
Longer sound levels when
compressor comes on.
Modern freezers have increased
storage capacity and more
stable temperatures. They
require a high efficiency
compressor.
Freezer operates at higher
pressures during the start of the
ON cycle.
• This is normal. When the surrounding noise level is low,
you might hear the compressor running while it cools the
interior.
• This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as freezer
continues to run.
