Door not fully closed, Door gasket damaged, Prolonged power outage, Cooling system underperformance

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No internal work required for initial checks.

  • Check door closure: Ensure no baskets or food packages are preventing the door from sealing. Adjust contents as needed.
  • Inspect gasket: Run a piece of paper around the door seal; if it pulls out easily in spots, the door gasket may need adjustment or replacement.
  • Silence alarm: Use the alarm reset button (if available) to silence the beeper while the freezer recovers.
  • Monitor temperature: Use a separate thermometer to verify actual freezer temperature over several hours.
  • Investigate cooling: If temperature does not recover, follow cooling system checks (condenser cleaning, fan operation, compressor function) as in other entries.
