Step 1
Flip the temperature control switch on and plug the power cord securely into a live wall outlet if the freezer isn't running. Check the fuse and replace it with a 15-amp time delay fuse if it has blown.
Step 2
Keep the door of the freezer closed more often and move the control knob to a warmer setting if you notice the freezer running longer than you think it should. Wait for a few hours for it to stop if the humidity level outside the freezer is high, or if you have placed warm food inside.
Step 3
Remove the food from inside the freezer and clean the freezer out with a sponge, warm water, and baking soda if it has an unpleasant odor. Cover any foods that may cause a problem tightly when you place them inside the freezer.
Step 4
Move the temperature setting to a warmer temperature and then wait a few hours for it to adjust if the temperature inside is too cold. Select a colder temperature or avoid opening the door too often if the internal temperature is too warm.
Step 5
Order a bulb from Arctic Air or a hardware store that's the same wattage and type as the one in your freezer model if it burns out.
