PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION

External tempera-

ture is warm

• The external freezer

walls can be as much

as 30°F warmer than

room temperature.

• This is normal while the compressor

works to transfer heat from inside the

freezer cabinet.

SOUND AND NOISE

Louder sound

levels when

freezer is on.

• Modern freezers have

increased storage

capacity and more

stable temperatures.

They require a high

efciency compressor.

• This is normal. When the surrounding

noise is low, you might hear the

compressor running while it cools the

interior.

Longer sound levels

when compressor

comes on.

• Freezer operates

at higher pressures

during the start of the

ON cycle.

• This is normal. Sound will level off or

disappear as the freezer continues to

run.

Popping or cracking

sound when com-

pressor comes on.

• Metal parts undergo

expansion and

contraction, as in hot

water pipes.

• This is normal. Sound will level off or

disappear as the freezer continues to run.

Bubbling

or gurgling

sound, like

water boiling.

• Refrigerant (used to

cool the freezer) is

circulating throughout

the system.

• This is normal.

Vibrating or

rattling noise.

• Freezer is not level. It

rocks on the oor when

it is moved slightly.

• Floor is uneven or

weak. Freezer rocks

on oor when it is

moved slightly.

• Freezer is touching

the wall.

• Level the unit. Refer to ”Leveling” in the

the freezer. Use leveling legs to level

the freezer.

• Re-level or move the freezer slightly. Refer to

“Leveling” in the INSTALLATION section.

sweating increases. This is normal.
