Red and Orange light staying on on my whirlpool chest freezer

Hi, the red and orange light is staying on and the green light is faded and flickering slightly. The freezer has slightly defrosted and I did notice quite a bit of hard ice around the top seals which i have now cleared. I have no manual or model number for this freezer, which I brought second hand a few years ago. Its been brilliant up until now?

Try a total defrost,to clear any internal ice(every 12 months)then switch on and if you have a rapid freeze button leave on for 24 hours to get back to normal operating temp.if you have hard ice around the door seals then you have an air leak which you must sort out(try using a hot cloth to warm seals back into shape.....seals should fit all round, all the time.

Does the green light come on after freezer is turned back on?

if you turn the freezer off for some time then on again the red light has to come on as an indicator for high temperature it goes off by itself when the freezer attains the required temperature according to the thermostat settings ,that is the lower the settings the faster the red light goes off. the orange light indicates super cooling and the green light indicates power supply.if you turn the two lights off and the freezer still works without the green light on that means that the bulb for the green light is faulty and you don,t need to worry

The standby light is still on

Are you sure it is a standby light? Usually the orange light is showing you it is in fast freeze. Try switching the orange button off and monitor the temperature. The freezer should cycle on and off, not run continuously.

Got three lights on my whirlpool super chest freezer green red and orange. Orange one you can push in and this illuminates it. what is itn for?

This is a super freeze button, it is for when you get a lot of frozen food and put it in you can push the super freeze button and it bypasses the thermostat and runs the freezer constant to freeze the food quicker.

We got a philips whirlpool chest freezer my husband pressed orange button as he was told it was turbo boost freezers only cold at bottom and red light is on

Orange switch only by passes the thermostat. It sounds like your freezer is either out of gas or the cooling fan (if there is one) is not working.

Philips whirlpool AFG 027 freezer

The orange button is the "turbo boost" - for reduzing the temperature the fast way. Mostly used when first time use or you put in a lot of unfrozen things at once. When reaching optimal temperture it goes off automatically. The red one is the alert button. Not sure about the green one. Under normal conditions none of the lights is on.
