possible.
Check that the condenser coils are clean.
Check that the door gasket is sealed all the way around. If not, contact a qualified technician.
Check that space around freezer meets air circulation requirements. See the "Location
Requirements" section.
NOTE: If none of the above is true, your new freezer will run longer than your old one due to its
high-efficiency motor.
Check that air vents are clear. See the "Ensuring Proper Air Circulation" section for air
vent locations.
Get all needed items out at one time, keep food organized, and close the door as soon as
possible.
