Before cleaning the condensor coils, unplug the
freezer to avoid a shock hazard.
The condensor coils dissipate heat. If dust and
debris accumulate around the coils, your freezer may not be able
to cool properly, it may run continuously or it may stop completely
as a result of an overheated compressor.
Rear-Mounted Coils
You should clean rear-mounted coils once a year.
Unplug the freezer before cleaning. Freezers are heavy, never
tip one forward or backward. When attempt to move a freezer without
an assistant.
Vacuum or brush the coils. If coils have a filmy
build-up, use warm soapy water to clean them. Take care not to
spill or drip water onto the components of the freezer.
Floor Level Coils
You should clean floor level coils at least twice
a year. Unplug the freezer before cleaning. Vacuum or brush the
coils.
Remove the grill from the front of the freezer
and use a vacuum with a wand attachment to remove any dust and
debris. The grill should snap off and on. Pull firmly toward and
possibly upward to remove the grill. If it does not come off with
a modest effort, check for screws or retaining clips that may
hold it in place.
Before cleaning the condensor coils, unplug the
freezer to avoid a shock hazard.
