POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTIONS
• A fuse may be blown or the circuit breaker tripped; check the fuse box
or circuit breaker
• Plug not fully inserted into the wall outlet; make sure the power cord is
plugged in
• Temperature setting is too warm; turn the temperature setting down
• The lid is not shut properly or opened excessively; make sure the lid is
completely closed
• Recently added a large quantity of warm food to the cabinet; remove
some of the new items until the freezer cools down
• Close proximity to heat source or direct sunlight; move the freezer to
another area
• Ambient temperature or humidity is very high; move the freezer to
another area
• Temperature setting is too cold: turn the temperature setting up
• The lid not shut properly or opened excessively: make sure the lid is
completely closed
• Recently added a large quantity of warm food to the cabinet: remove
some of the new items until the freezer cools down
• Close proximity to heat source or direct sunlight; move the freezer to
another area
• Ambient temperature or humidity is very high; move the freezer to
another area
The refrigerant lines run through the cabinet walls and will get very cold;
this can cause frosting on the cabinet walls. The amount of frost is affected
by ambient humidity, the frequency that the door is opened and warm food
being added to the cabinet. If the frost becomes more than 6 mm (1/4")
thick, please see the defrosting instructions to remove it.
This noise is completely normal. The refrigerant inside the appliance will
make a gurgling noise as it changes from a liquid to a gas and back again.
This information can be found on the rating place located on the back or
side of the cabinet.

No, an extension cord may not be used
Yes, this appliance is considered "Garage Ready" when it is being used as
a freezer. If the appliance is being used as a refrigerator, it should only be
used in climate controlled spaces.
The appliance door may be diffi cult to open immediately after closing it.
This is normal and is due to the pressure difference between the cold interior
of the appliance and the warm air that has just entered the appliance when
it was opened. The pressure will equalize within a few minutes.
