Freezer runs but does not get cold enough; temperature is higher than setpoint, compressor runs almost constantly.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before cleaning coils or accessing the compressor compartment.

• 1. Check door seal: Ensure the door gasket seals all around. Replace if torn or warped.
• 2. Clean condenser coils: On Electrolux freezers, coils may be on the back or underneath. Use a coil brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint. Ensure airflow is not blocked by wall or clutter.
• 3. Verify condenser fan operation: If your model has a condenser fan near the compressor, confirm it runs whenever the compressor runs. Replace the condenser fan motor if it does not start or is noisy.
• 4. Inspect frost pattern: Remove the interior rear panel and check the evaporator. A partial frost pattern (only at the inlet) suggests a sealed system issue requiring a professional.
• 5. Allow time to stabilize: After cleaning and corrections, allow 12–24 hours for temperature to stabilize before judging performance.
