Possible Causes
Overloaded freezer blocking vents, Warm air infiltration from door gasket leak, Evaporator fan not circulating air properly
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work is needed for basic checks.
- Reorganize freezer: Keep vents clear and avoid packing items tightly against the back wall.
- Check gasket seal: Inspect and clean the freezer door gasket.
- Listen for fan: Ensure the evaporator fan runs when the door switch is pressed and the compressor is on.
If airflow remains poor or fan operation is intermittent, the evaporator fan motor may need replacement.
