Troubleshooting and error codes

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE
FREEZER DOES NOT OPERATE • Freezer may not be plugged in at wall outlet.
• If plug is secure and the freezer still fails to operate, plug a small appliance into the same outlet to determine if there is a tripped circuit breaker or burned out fuse.

• Temperature control set on too high a number.
FREEZER OPERATES TOO LONG •Package holding lid open, or lid opened too frequently or too long.
• Temperature control set on too high a number.
•Inadequate air circulation space around cabinet.
NOISY OPERATION • The floor may be weak, causing the freezer to vibrate when the compressor is on.
• Cabinet is not positioned solidly on floor. Use shims to correct for uneven floor.
CABINET VIBRATES • Weakness in room floor. Placing 2 X 4's under the length of the freezer will help support it and may reduce vibration.
