What to do if my Salton CF2137 Freezer does not operate?
If your Salton Freezer isn't operating, start by ensuring it's properly plugged into a working AC outlet. Then, verify the thermostat control setting is appropriately adjusted.
Why does my Salton CF2137 turn on and off frequently?
There are several reasons why your Salton Freezer might be turning on and off frequently. It could be due to a hotter than normal room temperature, a large amount of food recently added, frequent door openings, or the door not closing properly. Also, check if the temperature control is properly set and inspect the door gaskets for a proper seal. Finally, make sure there are adequate clearances around the freezer for ventilation.
What to do if the Salton CF2137 door is not shutting properly?
If your Salton Freezer door isn't shutting properly, first make sure the freezer is level. Check the door gaskets to ensure they are properly sealed and inspect for any blockages, such as food containers, shelves, or bins, that may be obstructing the door. Also, if the door was reversed, ensure it was properly reinstalled.
Why is my Salton Freezer making noise?
Some noises from your Salton Freezer are normal. The rattling noise from the flow of coolant is normal, as are gurgling sounds at the end of each cycle. Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause crackling and popping noises, which is also normal. However, ensure the freezer is level, check that nothing inside is wobbling, and confirm nothing has fallen behind the freezer.
