The freezer door is hard to open.
When you open the freezer door, warm air
rushes inside. When
you close the door, the warm air rushes to
the condenser which
causes a vacuum. This causes the door to
be hard to open for
about 10 to 15 seconds after closing.
If the door is hard to open at other times,
try rubbing paraffin
wax or petroleum jelly along the edges of
the entire gasket.
Paraffin wax is used for canning and is safe
for use around food.
The compressor runs for a long
time or turns on and off
frequently.
The compressor runs longer if:
The room temperature is high.
You just added a large amount of food. Wait
for the food to
freeze, then check again.
You open and close the door frequently.
The door gasket is dirty. Clean the gasket.
See Cleaning your
freezer on page 10.
Your freezer has been disconnected for a
period of time. Wait for
your freezer to cool (about four hours)
before adding food.
You have the temperature set too low. Set
the control knob to a
higher temperature.
The freezer makes unusual noises
or vibrations.
Metal parts expand and contract as the
temperature changes.
This is normal.
When the refrigerant is circulating
throughout the system, your
freezer may make noises. This is normal.
Remove items from the top of your freezer.
Make sure that your freezer is level.
If your freezer is touching walls, move it
away from the walls.
Make sure that the baskets are installed
correctly.
The outside of the freezer is hot.
Heat dissipation from the condenser may make
the outside feel hot.
This is normal and happens if:
The room temperature is high.
You have too much food in your freezer.
You open and close the door excessively.
