If motor seems to run too long
1.If large amounts of unfrozen food have been put into the freezer, motor will run longer:
2.On hot summer days of if raom is hot. motor will run longer to provide correct amount of cooling.
If freezer feels warm
3.If neither food locker storage or dry ice is avail- able, use or can perishable food at once.
l The length of time food will stay frozen depends on several factors. For instance: a full freezer will remain cold longer than a freezer partially filled. And a freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer filled with baked goods. Also, if the food still contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, al- though the quality and flavor may be affected. Use this food as soon as convenient. If the condition of the food is poor or is in any way questionable, it is wise to dispose of it.
If freezer stops running:
l Check to see if power cord is plugged into the outlet.
During normal operating conditions the freezer transfers heat removed from food packages and air space to the outside room air. The freezer cabinet may feel warm.

2.Do not open or close the lid by grasping a corner. Use the handle.
l Check fuse box or circuit breaker
