How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before cleaning or moving the appliance.
- Check door seal: Inspect the gasket for gaps and clean it with warm soapy water. Ensure the door closes firmly and is not warped.
- Improve ventilation: Make sure there is adequate space around the freezer and that the condenser is clean.
- Verify temperature setting: Avoid setting the freezer to the coldest setting unnecessarily; use a moderate setting like -18°C.
- Monitor temperature: Use a separate freezer thermometer to confirm actual temperature. If it is correct but the unit never cycles off, the thermostat may be faulty.
When to call a technician: If the compressor never stops and the temperature is still high or far below setpoint, professional diagnosis of the thermostat and sealed system is needed.
