Freezer runs constantly and rarely shuts off; exterior sides may feel warm.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before cleaning or moving it.

Door and settings:

• Inspect and replace a damaged door gasket as needed.
• Set the temperature to a mid-range setting instead of the coldest.

Condenser and airflow:

• Clean condenser coils thoroughly.
• Ensure adequate clearance around the freezer for ventilation.

Defrost function:

• If heavy frost accumulates on the evaporator, the unit may run constantly trying to maintain temperature. Check and repair the defrost system.

Monitor: After corrections, allow 24–48 hours to see if run time decreases. If not, a control or sealed system issue may require professional service.
