How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before cleaning or accessing components.
- Check temperature setting: Adjust to a moderate setting (around -18°C) and monitor if the compressor ever cycles off.
- Inspect door seal and usage: Ensure the door closes fully and is not opened excessively.
- Clean condenser: Remove dust from the condenser coils and fan to improve efficiency.
- Sensor and control: If the unit still runs nonstop and temperature is already very low, the thermostat or sensor may be faulty and require replacement.
