Troubleshooting and error codes
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
| Freezer Operation | ||
| Freezer does not run. | * Freezer is plugged into a circuit that has a ground fault interrupt. * Temperature control set to "OFF". * Freezer may not be plugged in, or plug may be loose. * House fuse blown or tripped circuit breaker. Power outage. |
* Use another circuit. If you are unsure about the outlet, have it checked by a certified technician. * See "SETTING THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL" section. * Ensure plug is tightly pushed into outlet. Check/replace fuse with a 15 amp time delay fuse. Reset circuit breaker. * Check house lights. Call local Electric Company. |
| Freezer runs too much or too long. | Room or outside weather is hot. * Freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Large amount of warm or hot food have been stored recently. Door is opened too frequently or kept open too long. Freezer door may be slightly open. * Temperature control is set too low. |
* It's normal for the Freezer to work harder under these conditions. * It takes 24 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 the door less often. * See "DOOR PROBLEMS". * Set control to a warmer setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. |
| Interior Freezer temperature is too cold. | Freezer gaskets are dirty, worn, cracked or poorly fitted. * Temperature control is set too low. |
* Clean Freezer gaskets (See Care and Cleaning Chart) Worn, cracked or poorly fitting gaskets should be replaced. * Set control to a warmer setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. |
| Interior Freezer temperature is too warm. | * Temperature control is set too warm. Door is opened too frequently or kept open too long. Freezer door may be slightly open. Large amount of warm or hot food have been stored recently. Freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. |
Set control to a colder setting. Allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Warm air entering the Freezer causes it to run more. Open the door less often. See "DOOR PROBLEMS". * Wait until the Freezer has had a chance to reach its selected temperature. Freezer requires 24 hours to cool down completely. |
| Freezer external surface temperature 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. |

| Sound And Noise | ||
| Louder sound levels whenever Freezer is on. | * Modern Freezers have increased storage capacity and more stable temperatures. They require heavy duty compressors. | * This is normal. When the surrounding noise level is low, you might hear the compressor running while it cools the interior. |
| Louder sound levels when compressor comes on. | * Freezer operates at higher pressures during the start of the ON cycle. | * This is normal. Sound will level off or disappear as Freezer continues to run. |
