Spoiled and stale food can be a telltale sign of a malfunctioning freezer, and many factors can contribute to this, such as excessive frost on the hanging walls or unstable internal temperatures. Throw in internal malfunctions, and you may also notice unusual noises coming from the freezer as it works, and these could be signaling that your freezer is in trouble.
WHY IS MY FREEZER NOT WORKING?
Many factors can cause a freezer not to work properly, but there are a few common ones that we have to be aware of. Excessive frost buildup, too many items, faulty seals, or improperly set internal functions can all make it difficult for the freezer to keep functioning properly and keep our food fresh!
HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT
The freezer does not cool in addition to the simple problems caused by it is also likely to signal a bigger problem, this article will introduce 7 common freezer failures, guide you to scientific failure to analyze the situation reasonably and initially rule out, to restore your freezer “health”.
Measure 1: Check Your Freezer's Power Supply
A freezer malfunctioning child bug will overheat. A hot freezer can be caused by a simple problem such as a tripped circuit breaker or a loose power cord. To troubleshoot whether it's a power problem, open your home's electrical box and check whether the fuse that powers your freezer is broken or blown.
Measure 2: Check Temperature Control
Freezer temperature should be set at 0ºF (-18ºC), the temperature at which food stays fresh best. When troubleshooting, it is recommended to check the freezer's temperature control to control the optimum temperature range reasonably.
Measure 3: Rationalize Food Storage Space
Excessive food storage will cause crowding of food inside the freezer, resulting in poor air circulation and blocking the operation of the evaporator fan that regulates the temperature. Reasonable planning of storage space to avoid congestion, ensure that the space between the cooling fan and the stored items, so that normal circulation.
Measure 4: Remove Frost
Operating your freezer for long periods and using it so frequently can cause frost to build up, blocking vents and sensors and causing internal temperature imbalances that can affect food freezing. When the frost inside reaches a thickness of 4/1 thick, you should defrost the freezer to keep it running smoothly.
To defrost work, many manufacturers produce freezers equipped with an automatic defrost function, if there is no such function, we recommend that you use a special defrost tool or place a hot towel inside, or hot water, the heat vaporization effect can accelerate the melting of the frost, if your cleaning is inconvenient to carry out, we recommend that you consult a professional maintenance personnel to repair.
Measure 5: Clean The Sealing Coils
The sealing coils of some refrigerator freezers get dirty with frequent use, especially in dusty or sooty environments, which will affect the normal operation of the freezer in the long run. On this issue, use a special vacuum cleaner to clean it.
Measure 6: Check The Freezer Door Gasket
The freezer door gasket seals the freezer door to prevent hot air from entering, and if the door gasket is warped or torn, it may affect normal freezing temperatures. To verify this, you can test the seal by placing a piece of paper flat on the door and pulling it repeatedly to see if it slides. If the paper slides freely, it is a sign that your seal is most likely faulty and should be replaced promptly!
Measure7: Listen For Noises
Freezers make humming noises during normal operation, but an unusually loud or persistent sound is likely a warning of a malfunction. Commonly, there is an unusually loud or shrill sound, or the sound of a clattering fan malfunction, if found, please replace the parts or repair them in a timely manner.
