• Does the freezer need to be cleaned? See “Freezer Care.” 
• Are the air vents blocked? This prevents cold air movement. 

Move objects away from the air vents. See “Ensuring Proper Air Cir-
culation” for air vent locations. 

• Is the door opened often? Be aware that the freezer will warm 

when this occurs. In order to keep the freezer cool, try to get every-
thing you need out of the freezer at once and close the door as soon 
as the material is removed. 

• Has a large amount of material just been added to the freezer? 

Adding a large amount of material warms the freezer. It can take sev-
eral hours for the freezer to return to the normal temperature. 

• Is the control set correctly for the surrounding conditions? See 

“Using the Control.” 

The door will not close completely or is difficult to open 

• Are containers blocking the door? Rearrange containers so that 

they fit more tightly and take up less space. 

• Are the shelves and basket out of position (on some models)? 

Put the shelves and basket back into their correct positions. 

• Are the gaskets dirty or sticky? Clean gaskets according to the 

directions in “Freezer Care.” 

• Does the freezer wobble or seem unstable? See “Adjust the 

Door.” 

The freezer clicks but does not run 

• Has the local power failed? Unplug the freezer for 30 minutes to 

allow the refrigeration system to equalize. During this time, keep the 
door closed whenever possible.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. 
1. Remove Packaging Materials 

2. Remove tape and glue residue from surfaces before turning on the 

freezer. Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over the adhesive with 
your fingers. Wipe with warm water and dry. 

3. Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol, flammable fluids, or 

abrasive cleaners to remove tape or glue. These products can damage 
the surface of your freezer. For more information, see ‘Freezer 
Safety.” 

4. When Moving Your Freezer: 

Your freezer is heavy. When moving the freezer for cleaning or ser-
vice, be sure to protect the floor. Always pull the freezer straight out 
when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the freezer when trying to 
move it, because floor damage can occur. 

5. Clean Before Using 

After you remove all of the packaging materials, clean the inside of 
your freezer before using it. See the cleaning instructions in “Freezer 

Care.” 

Key Eject Lock  
To lock or unlock the freezer, you must hold the key in the lock while 

turning. The lock is spring loaded, so the key cannot be left in the 
lock. 

If the key is lost, contact your dealer for a replacement. Always give 

the model and serial number of your freezer when requesting a re-
placement key.
