PROBLEM
The freezer
stops running
CHECK THE FOLLOWING
• Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with the
proper voltage?
• Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?
• Has local power failed?
• Is the Temperature Control set to a numbered setting?
The motor
seems to run
too long
• Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door
from closing? Defrost and clean freezer or move package
so door closes properly.
• 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 lbs. per cubic foot of freezer space.
• Is the day hot and muggy, or the room too warm? The motor
will naturally run longer to provide the correct amount of
cooling.
• Is there enough air circulation space around the freezer?
See “Choosing the proper location” on page 6.
