1. Remove all frozen food.

2. Unplug the freezer.

3. Clean it thoroughly.

4. Tape the freezer shut and tape the electrical cord to the 

cabinet.

When you get to your new home, refer to the “Installation 
Instructions” and “Freezer Use” sections for information on 
installation and setting the controls.

■

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 
3 prong outlet.

■

Has a household fuse blown or circuit breaker tripped? 
Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker.

■

Is the Temperature Control turned to the OFF position? 
See “Using the Control.”

■

Is the freezer defrosting (on some models)? Recheck to 
see whether the freezer is operating in 30 minutes. Your 
freezer will regularly run an automatic defrost cycle.

■

Is the power supply cord unplugged? Plug into a grounded 
3 prong outlet.

■

Is a light bulb loose in the socket or burned out? See 
“Changing the Light Bulb.”

■

Is the freezer defrosting? The water will evaporate. It is 
normal for water to drip into the defrost pan. 

■

Is it more humid than normal? When it is humid, expect that 
the water in the defrost pan will take longer to evaporate.

■

Is there excessive frost or a package preventing the door  
from closing? Defrost and clean the freezer, or move the 
package so the door closes properly.

■

Is the room temperature hotter than normal? The motor 
will run longer under warm conditions. At normal room 
temperatures, your motor will run about 40% to 80% of the 
time. Under warmer conditions, it will run even more.

■

Has a large amount of food just been added to the 
freezer? Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer. 
The motor normally will run longer to cool the freezer back 
down. 

■

Is the door opened often? The motor will run longer when 
this occurs. Conserve energy by getting all items out at one 
time, keeping food organized, and closing the door as soon 
as possible.
