  Olivia PotterAug 6, 2025
  If the compressor in your ChiQ Freezer seems to be running constantly, a few factors could be at play. The room might be warmer than usual, or you might have added a large amount of food recently. Also, check if the door is being opened too often or isn't closing properly, or if the temperature control is set incorrectly. Ensure the door gasket seals well and that the freezer has enough space around it. If the freezer was recently disconnected, it can take over 6 hours to fully cool down, depending on the conditions.

  If your ChiQ Freezer isn't getting any power, start by checking that the power cord is properly plugged in. Also, verify that the circuit breaker hasn't tripped or a fuse blown. Try plugging the freezer into a different power outlet to rule out an issue with the current one.

  If the doors of your ChiQ Freezer aren't closing properly, make sure the freezer is on a level surface. The gaskets might be dirty or not properly maintained, so clean the seals and ensure they're dry before closing the doors. Also, check that the storage basket and shelves are correctly positioned.
