Freezer runs continuously and never cycles off, but temperature is acceptable

Safety: Unplug before cleaning condenser or adjusting components.

Steps to reduce run time:

• 1. Clean condenser: Remove dust from rear coils and ensure good airflow.
• 2. Improve door seal: Check gasket with the paper test and replace if necessary.
• 3. Adjust setpoint: If the freezer is colder than needed, raise the set temperature slightly (e.g. from −22°C to −18°C).
• 4. Check ambient temperature: Avoid placing the freezer near ovens, radiators, or in unventilated cupboards.

Note: Some modern freezers run for long periods by design for efficiency, but they should still cycle off occasionally.
