Generally, Hoshi freezers have 2 sensors and a limit in the evap compartment. One sensor is for conditioned space temp, one is for evap temp, and limit if for the heater.
Basically, while in defrost, the controller monitors the evap temp, and when it reaches approx. 70 degrees, the defrost should terminate. The limit kills power to the heater should it get too hot prior to defrost termination. I would first check to see if heater is getting power, if not, check the limit as they go bad frequently. If it is getting power but the defrost termination is happening too early, I would replace the probes first as it is the cheaper route and even if the controller is bad, I would not replace it without doing the probes too. The safety in the controller is usually set for if the unit does not terminate defrost on temp, it will terminate on time, usually 1 hour set at factory specs. Let me know if you need any further help.
There are a few different problems you could be having on the defrost cycle. First you will have to check defrost thermostat and heater. Unplug connectors from both ends of element and ohm, if it doesn't read through it is bad. Then ohm defrost thermostat, it has to be cold "below 40" to have a closed circuit so that it will read through. The best way to check it is when it is covered in ice. If it reads through when below 40 degrees it is good. After that it will be to the defrost timer or if it has power board. If there are no wiring problems it will be board or defrost timer.

look in your onwers manuel and it should tell you what your temperature for the freezer should range from.if it was not giving to you when you bought the freezer then it should be behind the pannel down where the compresser is taped to the side.but as you know any thing below 32 degrees is freezing so 5 degrees is pretty cold.i dont under stand about the noise but if you think your freezer is not working right and if it is new then call place where you got it and tell them your concerns and then they should send a technician out
A defective temperature control can cause that problem. Check by dialing it, it should be smooth when dialed. It should be on desired degrees where you set it and not on other. Thanks for asking.
Hello kk....no. the new freezers do not need a controlled environment as they will adjust on their own. The only exception would be severe cold. Operating them below 40 degrees farenheit is not recommended. Joe
check to see if there is ice built up on the inside back if there is it may have defrost problems or if part of the back has ice it may be low of freon
If it still maintaining temperature but is short cycling your control for the temperature is wearing out causing the short cycling. This is a replaceable part that can be obtained through a dealer or appliance parts supplier. By lower setting do you mean lower number on the control, or lower temperature setting? Normally the higher the number the colder the temperature.
