•For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for freezer to cool down completely. The
freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are already
frozen may be placed in freezer after the first few hours of operation. Unfrozen
foods should NOT be loaded into freezer until freezer has operated for 4 hours.

Avoid Service Checklist Before calling for service, review this list. It may save you both time and
expense. This list includes common occurrences that are not the result of
defective workmanship or materials in this appliance.
Check to ensure that freezer is not plugged into a circuit that has ground fault interrupt. If
you are unsure about the outlet, have it checked by a certified technician.
Temperature control is in the OFF position. See Setting the Temperature Control Section.
Freezer may not be plugged in, or plug may be loose. Be sure plug is tightly pushed into
electrical outlet.
House fuse has blown, or circuit breaker has tripped. Check/reset circuit breaker, or replace
fuse with 15 amp. time delay fuse.
Power outage. Check house lights. Call local electric company.
Room or outside weather is hot. It is normal for the freezer to work harder under these
conditions.
Freezer had recently been disconnected for a period of time. Freezer requires 4 hours to cool
down completely.
Large amounts of warm or hot food have been stored recently. Warm food will cause the
freezer to run more until the desired temperature is reached.

has had a chance to reach its selected temperature.
Freezer has recently been disconnected for a period of time. Freezer requires 4 hours to cool
down completely.
The exterior 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.
Modernfreezers haveincreased storagecapacityandmoreeventemperatures. Theyrequire
a high efficiency compressor. When the surrounding noise level is low, you might hear the
compressor running while it cools the interior.
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.
Metal parts undergo expansion and contraction, as in hot water pipes. This is normal. Sound
will level off or disappear as freezer continues to run.
FREEZER DOES NOT RUN
OCCURRENCE SOLUTION
Freezer runs too much or too long.
Temperatures inside the freezer are
too cold.
Temperatures inside the freezer are too
warm.
Temperature of external freezer

in the First Steps Section.
Weather is hot and humid, which increases internal rate of frost build-up. This is normal.
Door is slightly open. See Occurrence “Door Problems.”
Door is kept open too long, or is opened too frequently. Open the door less often.
Door is slightly open, causing the cold air from inside the freezer to meet warm moist air from
outside. See “Door Problems” in the Occurrence Section.
Interior needs to be cleaned. Clean interior with sponge, warm water, and baking soda.
Foods with strong odors are in the freezer. Cover the food tightly.
Freezer is not level. It rocks on the floor when it is moved slightly. This condition can force the
