Troubleshooting
Before calling for service, please check the chart below for problems you can fix. It could save
you the cost of a service call
PROBLEM
The freezer
stops running
CHECK THE FOLLOWING
l Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with the
proper voltage?
l Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
l Has local power failed?
l Is the Temperature Control set to a numbered setting?
The motor
seems to run
too long
l Is there excessive frost, or a package preventing the door
from closing? Defrost and clean freezer, or move package
so door closes properly.
l Has a large amount of unfrozen food been added to the
freezer? The motor will naturally run longer. Add no more
unfrozen food at one time than will freeze in 24 hours -
approximately 2-3 Ibs. per cubic foot of freezer space.
l Is the day hot and muggy, or the room too warm? The
motor will naturally run longer to provide the correct amount
of cooling.
l Is there enough air circulation space around the freezer?
