Possible Causes
Temperature sensor reading too warm, Door gasket leaks causing heat infiltration, Control board not terminating cooling cycle, Ambient temperature very high
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before inspecting gaskets or sensors that require panel removal.
- Check ambient conditions: Ensure the freezer is not installed in a very hot or unventilated space (e.g., enclosed garage corner) beyond its design limits.
- Inspect door gasket: Close a sheet of paper in the door at several points. If it pulls out easily, the gasket may be leaking and should be replaced or adjusted.
- Verify sensor operation: If accessible, test the cabinet sensor resistance and replace if out of specification.
- Observe defrost cycles: If the unit never enters defrost (no pauses in compressor operation, heavy frost buildup), the control board may be faulty.
Continuous running increases energy use and wear. If basic checks do not resolve it, have a technician evaluate the control system.
