Freezer temperature is not low enough (soft icecream)

After about 6 months of fair performance freezer temperature got warmer to the point that icecream is in semi liquid condition, water ice cubes freez up but I think it takes a long time (overnight- is that to long?)

Upright Freezer not cold enough

Honestly it sounds as if you have a sealed system issue, most likely low on freon.

You need to have the freon checked. It may be enough for colder months but when warmer months come it is just not enough to keep it cool enough. Goodluck

Turn the freezer control to WARMER freezer. Give it 24 hours to adjust.
After that,set the FREEZER control at the 1/2 way mark.

Freezer is not cold enough

Here are normal temperatures - Freezer should not be warmer than 10F. Normally it should be 0F, however optimal temps are -10F and for hard icecream - I recommend -10F or colder since it gives a better recovery after a power failure.

Refrigerator temps no warmer than 4F - optimal should be 34F.

After ruling out door gasket seals and dirty condensers, the most common cause is a bad defrost system. If you remove your freezer panel you can look for over frosting on the evap coils - (after shutting down unit of course) try manually defrosting with a blow dryer until everything is melted - place back panel and run for a couple of hours. If cooling is back to nromal, your issue is defrost timer components / control board.

Make sure the evap fan is working properly as well. as your condenser fan (if applicable).

Freezer does not freeze fast enough, icecream gets soft

Faulty Cold control (Temperature Control)
The cold control is a temperature actuated switch and should open when the set temperature has been achieved. If the control does not open and turn the compressor off, it will continue to run and all items in the fresh food section will begin to freeze.

If the control is not closing, the compressor and all fans will cease to operate. Check the control for continuity.

This is usually not a do it your selfer.

Freezer cold but not freezing

Check the settings for the freezer control. Refrigerator temperature control normally controls the run time of the compressor. if the freezer control is set to low the refrigerator temperature will be fine and the freezer will be warmer. Setting the freezer control to a colder setting will hold back more cold air in the freezer and reduce the air volume supplied to the refrigerator. Check and make sure the condenser coil is clean.
