TROUBLESHOOTING
Try the solutions suggested here first to avoid the cost of an unnecessary service call...
Your freezer will not operate
■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■ Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped?
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.
■ Is the Temperature Control turned to the OFF position?
See “Using the Control.”
■ Is the freezer defrosting (on some models)? Recheck to
see whether the freezer is operating in 30 minutes. Your
freezer will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.
The lights do not work
■ Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded
3 prong outlet.
■ Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See
“Changing the Light Bulb.”
There is water in the defrost drain pan (on some models)
■ Is the freezer defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is
normal for water to drip into the defrost pan.
■ Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that
the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.
The motor seems to run too much
■ Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door
from closing? Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the
package so the door closes properly.
■ Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor
will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room
temperatures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the
time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.
■ Has a large amount of food just been added to the
freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer.
The motor normally will run longer to cool the freezer back
down.
■ Is the door opened often? The motor will run longer when
this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one
time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon
as possible.
