General Tips Energy Tips Before Calling For Service This freezer is designed to be one of the most energy efficient freezers available. Reduce energy use by doing the following: • Operate in normal room temperatures away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Freezer does not operate. • Confirm temperature control is on. • Set controls no colder than necessary. • Keep freezer full. • Keep door gaskets clean and pliable. Replace gaskets if worn.
General Tips Operating Sounds Today’s freezers are designed for economical operation and energy efficiency. New features and designs may create sounds which are different. Following are normal operating sounds which may be encountered, no service call is required. Defrost heater:* Sizzling, hissing, or popping sounds are caused by water dropping on the defrost heater during the defrost cycle. Temperature control: Clicks when the compressor starts or stops.
