POTENTIAL CAUSE
• Modern appliances
have increased
storage capacity
and more stable
temperatures. They
require a high effi-
ciency compressor.
• Appliance operates
at higher pressures
during the start of
the ON cycle.
• Metal parts undergo ex-
pansion and contraction,
as in hot water pipes.
• Refrigerant (used to
cool appliance) is
circulating through-
out the system.
• Appliance is not level. It
rocks on the floor when
it is moved slightly.
• Floor is uneven or
weak. Appliance
rocks on floor when
it is moved slightly.
• Appliance is touch-
ing the wall.
• Weather is hot and
humid, which in-
creases internal rate
of frost build-up.
• Door may not be
seating properly.
• Door is kept open too
long, or is opened
too frequently.
• Door may not be
seating properly,
causing the cold air
from inside the
freezer to meet warm
moist air from outside.
• Interior needs to
be cleaned.
• Foods with strong odors
are in the appliance.
COMMON SOLUTION
