PROBLEM

The freezer stops running

The motor seems to run too long

CHECK THE FOLLOWING

l Is the power cord plugged into a live circuit with the proper voltage?

l Is there a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker?

l Has local power failed?

l Is the Temperature Control set to a numbered setting?

l Is there excessive frost, or a package preventing the door from closing? Defrost and clean freezer, or move package so door closes properly.

l Has a large amount of unfrozen food been added to the freezer? The motor will naturally run longer. Add no more unfrozen food at one time than will freeze in 24 hours - approximately 2-3 Ibs. per cubic foot of freezer space.

lIs the day hot and muggy, or the room too warm? The motor will naturally run longer to provide the correct amount of cooling.

l Is there enough air circulation space around the freezer? See “Choosing the proper location” on page 7.
