Green light not working on front lower panel of candy chest freezer

The compressor won't burn out just because it's running all the time. The plastic fascia pops out easily from behind(take the little panel off on the side) Set the thermostat to the middle of its range and switch the fast freeze off.

Good day James.

There must be a loose cable for the green light to come on. Your thermostat might need replacement especially if doesn't go on defost which happens automatically.

Check your outlet with something else that will work, like a radio. If the green light does not come on, then check the wiring. The green light should be on even if the freezer has reached it's temperature. That is simply a light to indicate that power is at the receptacle.

I have the same issue, the green light on the bottom is not lit. Looked in manual and do not see anything about that. Freezer is working otherwise, everything frozen like it should be.

to be honest the price would not be worth the cost. but yes you can replace bulb. all you have to do is click it off. but do get in touch with manifactors Manual for blub size and info.

I got delivery today for the same freezer and had the same question.
I just called GE's customer service number (800-626-2005) and the agent told me that GE uses this button panel (which has the green on/off light switch, the two white switches, and the round control dial) for all or most of its freezers. But the buttons do not do anything on the 5 cubic foot chest freezer. They are not connected to anything and are non-active buttons. On other freezer models above this one, the two switches serve a purpose, but not the 5CF model. This is a simple, inexpensive freezer and it doesn't have bells and whistles--but it does have the same control panel as the multi-feature freezers. Hope that helps.

Is this just a "Power-on" light to let you know it's plugged in and has power? This is probably just a "neon" (although the actual gas inside is hydrogen for the green color) bulb and sometimes they will do the flickering thing literally forever. In a way it's a good thing as it makes you look at it. If it really concerns you, or if it is actually a warning that something is going wrong (it should say in the manual, you DO have the manual don't you?) have it fixed under the warranty.

Do not put a towel on your freezer or anything that could prevent a good seal from top of freezer.

Your problem is more than likely in the light itself. The green light is the indicator that the temperature is in acceptable range.

could be a possible short in the electrical
