Why is my GE FUF21DLRWW Freezer so noisy or vibrating?
- M
  Mackenzie BridgesSep 3, 2025
  If your GE Freezer is making unusual noises or vibrating, the floor might be weak, causing vibration when the compressor is running. Ensure the freezer is on a solid floor and adjust the leveling legs as needed. The cabinet might not be positioned firmly; adjust the legs or use shims for an uneven floor, referring to the Installing the Freezer section. Also, ensure the freezer isn't touching the wall; level it or move it slightly, consulting the Level Freezer section.

Why is the temperature in my GE FUF21DLRWW too warm?

  Ryan WilliamsSep 2, 2025
  If your GE Freezer temperature is too warm, there might be several reasons. Make sure the door is not left open or that items aren't preventing it from closing properly. Avoid opening the door too frequently or for extended periods. Check the temperature control setting and adjust it to a colder setting, allowing several hours for the temperature to stabilize. Also, consider if large amounts of water or hot food were recently stored, and allow the freezer time to reach the desired temperature. Finally, if the freezer was recently disconnected, remember that it requires 4 hours to cool down completely.

Why doesn't the interior light work in my GE FUF21DLRWW?

  If the interior light in your GE Freezer isn't working, first check if there's power at the outlet by replacing the fuse or resetting the breaker. Ensure the freezer is properly plugged into the outlet. If the outlet has power and the freezer is plugged in, the LED light might have burned out, and you'll need to replace it.

  If your GE Freezer is making noise or the cabinet is vibrating, it could be due to a few factors. The floor might be weak, causing the freezer to vibrate when the compressor is running, so ensure the freezer is on a solid floor and adjust the leveling legs as needed.

  If the temperature in your GE Freezer is too warm, start by checking if the door is left open or if packages are preventing it from closing properly. Avoid frequent or prolonged door openings. Also, make sure the temperature control isn't set too warm; if it is, adjust it to a colder setting and allow several hours for the temperature to stabilize. If you've recently stored large amounts of water or hot food, give the freezer time to reach the desired temperature. Finally, if the freezer has been recently disconnected, remember that it requires approximately 8 hours to cool down completely.

  Mrs. Vanessa RossAug 26, 2025
  If your GE Freezer isn't operating, first check the fuse or circuit breaker and replace or reset it if necessary. Ensure the freezer is properly plugged into the outlet. Also, check if the 'Demo' LED light is on, indicating it's in Demo mode. To exit Demo mode, press the “Alarm Reset” button first, then immediately press and hold both the "START" and "STOP" buttons, along with the "Control Lock" button, simultaneously for 5 seconds, and then release. The 'Demo' light should turn off.

How to prevent excessive frost buildup in my GE FUF21DLRWW Freezer?

  Martha DeckerAug 25, 2025
  If you notice excessive frost buildup in your GE Freezer, start by checking if the door is being left open or if a package is preventing it from closing correctly. Avoid opening the door too frequently or for extended periods. Keep in mind that some frost buildup is normal during periods of high humidity; if this is the case, simply wipe the surface dry.

What to do if foods are defrosting in my GE FUF21DLRWW?
- F
  Felicia RodriguezAug 23, 2025
  If foods are defrosting in your GE Freezer, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the high temp alarm is on and the temperature display is flashing, as this indicates a possible power outage causing a high internal temperature. Ensure the freezer is properly plugged into the outlet. Also, inspect the fuse or circuit breaker. If the fuse is blown or the breaker is tripped, replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Make sure the door is not left open or being held open by any packages, and avoid opening the door too frequently or for extended periods.
