Self-service Check List
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix yourself without tools
of any kind.
If electricity goes off
Learn how long power will be off by calling the
power company.
If service is to be interrupted 24 hours or less,
keep freezer closed. Most food will stay frozen.
If service is to be interrupted longer than 24
hours, do this:
(a) Remove all frozen food and store in a
frozen food locker. Or ...
(b) Place dry ice on top of food, using as-large
pieces as possible. Protect your hands with
gloves when using dry ice.
(c) If neither food locker storage nor dry ice
is available, use or can perishable food at
once.
The length of time food will stay frozen de­
pends on several factors. For instance: a full
freezer will remain cold longer than a freezer
only partially filled. And a freezer full of meat 3.
will stay cold longer than a freezer filled with
baked goods. Also, if the food still contains ice
crystals, it may be safely refrozen, although
the quality and flavor may be affected. Use this
food as soon as convenient. If the condition of
the food is poor or is any way questionable, it
is wise to dispose of it.
If freezer stops running
1. Check to see if power cord is plugged into the
outlet.
2. Check fuse box or circuit breaker.
3. Check electric company for a power failure.
4. Be sure COLD CONTROL is turned on.
If compressor seems to run too long
1. Check to see that condenser, located on back of
freezer, is free of dust and lint.
2. On hot summer days or if room is hot, compres­
sor will run longer to provide correct amount
of cooling.
3. If large amounts of unfrozen food have been
put into the freezer, compressor will run longer.
4. Check to see that there is enough air circula­
tion space above and in back of freezer.
