How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before defrosting or moving the unit.
- Check ambient temperature: Ensure the freezer is installed within the recommended room temperature range.
- Adjust setpoint: Increase the set temperature slightly (e.g., from -24°C to -18°C) and observe if run time decreases.
- Inspect gasket: Look for gaps or damage. Replace if the seal is poor.
- Check for frost: Remove drawers and inspect the rear panel for heavy frost. If present, perform a full manual defrost and then monitor operation.
