Your freezer will not operate

=Is the power 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.

aIs the Lower Compartment Control turned to the OFF position? See the "Using the Controls" section.

There is water in the defrost drain pan

=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 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.

Are the doors 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.

=Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See the "Using the Control(s)" section.

•Are the doors closed completely? Close the doors firmly. If they do not close completely, see "The doors will not close

completely" later in this section.

•Are the condenser coils dirty?.This prevents air transfer and makes the motor work harder. Clean the condenser coils. See the "Cleaning" section.

NOTE: Your new freezer will run longer than your old one due to its high-efficiency motor.

The freezer seems to make too much noise

•The sounds may be normal for your freezer. See the "Normal Sounds" section.

The warmth is probably due to normal operation of the automatic exterior moisture control. Additionally, the freezer is equipped with a heater to keep the freezer operating properly when the ambient temperature drops too low.

Temperature is too warm

•Are the air vents blocked in either compartment? This prevents cold air movement between the compartments. Move objects away from the air vents. See the "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section for air vent locations.

Are the door(s) opened often? The freezer will warm when this occurs. Keep the freezer cool by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.

Has a large amount of food just been added to the freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer. It can take several hours for the freezer to return to the normal temperature.

•Are the controls set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See the "Using the Control(s)" section.

There is interior moisture buildup

•Are the air vents blocked in the freezer?. Remove any

objects from in front of the air vents. See the "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section for air vent locations.

•Are the door(s) opened often? Avoid humidity buildup by getting all items out at one time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon as possible.

•Is the room humid? It is normal for moisture to build up inside the freezer when the room air is humid.

•Is the food packaged correctly? Check that all food is securely wrapped. Wipe off damp food containers before placing them in the freezer.

•Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See the "Using the Control(s)" section.

•Was a self-defrost cycle completed? It is normal for droplets to form after the freezer self-defrosts.

The doors are difficult to open

•Are the gaskets dirty or sticky?. Clean gaskets and the surface that they touch. Rub a thin coat of paraffin wax on the gaskets following cleaning.

•Have you opened the freezer door recently? Allow at least 10 seconds after closing the freezer door before trying to open the upper compartment.
