Won’t reset after a power outage. I’ve done the whole reset thing per instructions like it says at least a dozen times. Power loss light goes off a couple seconds and comes right back on.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello and thank you for writing. So you have done a hard reset?

As i said earlier i did do a hard reset. I finally got the freezer to run but power loss light won’t go off and and it says -10 degrees. You can reset it power loss goes back off a few seconds while you adjust tepmerature to where you want it and a couple second later it goes back to -10 degrees and power loss comes back on. So it never kicks off

Gasket old and leaking
118 of 125 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Thomas from RIXEYVILLE, VA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Screw drivers
This freezer has many screws that hold the cover on the back of the door and assist clamping the edge of the gasket in place. Be sure to just loosen the screws 3/4 the way out, use a flat head screw driver to pry the cover from the door in case over time it is stuck to the door. The new gasket will come in a creative box trying not to kin k the gasket itself, but there will be some distortion of the gasket when you get it. Put it in the sun or in hot water. I put it in my dryer for 10 minutes. Remove the old gasket, and start at the top of the door to replace the gasket. TIPS: If the screws are backed out enough, there should not be any problem sliding the back part of the gasket under the cover. When on the sides, do not pull the gasket down to make it easier to slide the gasket underneath the cover. This will distort and lengthen the gasket so it will not fit and thin it out so it will not function well. Once the gasket is in place, tighten the screws being sure to feel along the outside edge of the gasket for any bulging that would indicate that portion of the gasket is NOT under the cover properly.

Rails for basket drawer were broken.
34 of 40 people found this instruction helpful.
  • John from Vancouver, WA
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
The repair was as easy as removing three phillip head screws for each slide rail and removing and replacing the broken slide rail. However, over the years, the walls of the freezer had bowed making the drawer a bit short to ride on the new rails -- causing the drawer to fall off the slide rails since the span between each rail was now wi der than the basket. To remedy this problem. I used washers and placed them on the back side of each rail where the screws are located . This was the perfect solution compensating for the extra width resulting from the slightly bowed walls in the freezer. This solution allowed the basket to fit on each slide rail without falling off .

Frost inside freezer.. Old door gasket leaking.
24 of 24 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Eric from SEVIERVILLE, TN
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
Pretty straight forward. Loosen all screws "but do not remove" pry door panel from door just enough to slip gasket behind panel. Make sure gasket is seated properly around door.. Tighten all screws snug...

Gasket may not seal right away due to being kinked from packaging, use a little heat on gasket witth hairdryer and push so mething heavy against door over night. The gasket will straighten out over night.
