Troubleshooting
Freezer not cooling
Check if the power cord is securely plugged in. Ensure the temperature control is set correctly. Verify that the door is closing properly and the seal is intact. Allow the freezer time to cool down after initial setup or a power interruption.
Excessive ice build-up
This is a non-frost-free appliance. If ice is building up quickly, ensure the door is not being left open for extended periods and that the door seal is effective. Perform manual defrosting as needed.
Freezer is noisy
Ensure the freezer is level using the adjustable feet. Check that the freezer is not touching any walls or cabinets. Normal operating sounds like humming or gurgling can occur.
Food is not freezing completely
Check the temperature setting and adjust if necessary. Avoid overloading the freezer, as this can restrict airflow. Ensure the door is sealing correctly and not being opened too frequently.
Exterior is warm
It is normal for the sides and back of the freezer to feel warm, especially around the compressor area, as this is where heat is dissipated. Ensure there is adequate ventilation around the unit.
