How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug before cleaning or accessing components.
Steps:
- Check door seal and usage: Ensure the door is not frequently opened or left ajar. Inspect and clean the gasket.
- Clean condenser: Remove dust from condenser coils to improve heat rejection.
- Check temperature setting: Avoid setting the freezer colder than necessary.
- Monitor temperature: Use a freezer thermometer to confirm actual temperature. If it is normal (-18°C) but the unit runs long in a hot room, this may be normal.
- If temperature is still high despite long run time, suspect a sealed system issue or control fault and contact a technician.
