Freezer operates but energy consumption seems unusually high; unit runs almost constantly.

Safety: Unplug before cleaning or moving the unit.

Steps:

• 1. Check temperature setting: Set to around -18°C; colder settings increase energy use.
• 2. Improve ventilation and clean condenser: Ensure good airflow and clean dust from the condenser coil.
• 3. Inspect door gasket: Replace if leaking as described earlier.
• 4. Reduce door openings and avoid overloading: Both increase run time.
• 5. Monitor run time: If the compressor runs nearly 100% of the time despite these corrections, the sealed system or compressor may be inefficient and require professional evaluation.
