Freezer runs continuously with very little off time, even when temperature seems correct.

Safety: Unplug before cleaning coils.

• Clean condenser and ensure airflow: Remove dust from coils and verify clearances.
• Check door seal: Perform the paper test and repair or replace gasket if leaking.
• Verify temperature setting: Ensure the setpoint is not unnecessarily low (e.g., -24°C when -18°C is sufficient).
• Ambient conditions: In very warm rooms, longer run times are normal. If energy use seems excessive despite good conditions, thermostat or sensor calibration may be off and require service.
