no rule of thumb
maybe if you got a different thermostat that has a lower setting than standard
however as upright freezers are very bad freezers compared to chest type freezers the lowest reading will be around the -35 degrees C
Why very bad -- every time you open the door you dump 20 degrees out onto the floor and the temp difference is more pronounced than opening the lid of a chest unit which keeps all of the cold in the unit
remember the colder the setting the more the compressor is working
unless this is a dedicated freezer only and not a side by side or over/under , there's no way it's going to get down too 0 degrees inside a warm home , nope not gonna happen
also its not good for you to set this there as compressor wont cycle properly there and entire freezer will ice up , then believe it or not it will get warmer not colder wastes a lot of power as well
Check for ice build-up in and around the freezer fan where the blades are, if you can see ice in there (some times it may look like white foam but dont be fooled, it will be ice), the fan will be hitting it, defrost the freezer and check defrost element, (you will have to dismantle freezer section to get to it but reletively simple job) disconect from mains first. Good luck
The freezer should be set at 4 or 5 to start. If that is not cold enough then move the temp knob to 6 or 7 to get it colder. the higher the # the colder it will get. Onse you set the new temp it will take around 4 hrs to get to the new setting.
Good Luck and please rate 4 thumbs up for the free answer.
TURN THE FRIG. TEMP CONTROL TO COLDER THIS WILL OPEN THE FREEZER FLAP MORE AND LET MORE AIR IN FRIG.ALSO THE TEMP CONTROL COULD BE BAD,TURN ALL THE WAY OFF AN TURN ON SLOW AND LISTEN FOR A CLICK IF NO CLICK THE CONTROL IS BAD,THANKS-MIKE
I have a danby mini fridge and freezer and noticed the same problem. The temperature dial has NO NUMBERS ON IT! it just has a strip that goes from light to dark blue. That's it. I looked in the manual and it doesn't say anywhere which way is colder...it makes sense that the darker the blue the colder the temperature but why keep us guessing?
