Possible Causes
Not unusual during periods of
high humidity.
Lid may not be seating properly,
causing cold air from inside the
freezer to meet warm moist air
from the outside.
No power at outlet.
Freezer is unplugged.
Package holding lid open.
Built-in overload protection.
Lid left open.
Too frequent or too long lid
openings.
Not unusual during periods of
high humidity.
The external freezer walls can be
as much as 30°F (16.7° C) warmer
than room temperature.
Modern freezers have increased
storage capacity and more stable
temperatures. They require a high-
efficiency compressor.
Freezer operates at higher
pressures during the start of the
ON cycle.
Metal parts undergo expansion
and contraction, as in hot water
pipes.
Refrigerant (used to cool freezer)
is circulating throughout the
system.
Weather is hot and humid, which
increases internal rate of frost
buildup.
Lid may not be seating properly.
Lid is kept open too long, or is
opened too frequently.
Interior needs to be cleaned.
Foods with strong odors are in the
freezer.
