Helloo roger.....Freezers have a thermostat to maintain the proper temperature. These are usually very simple devices. When the freezer reaches the set temperature, the thermostat interrupts the electricity flow to the compressor, which stops cooling. Set your freezer to a colder and colder setting until it doesn't cut out. If you are already at the coldest setting, your only option would be to change the freezer's internal thermostat to one that has a lower cut out capability. Most refrigeration technicians could find the thermostat for you to do this. Joe

Hi Joe. Thank you for your response. If it helps this
is nothing to do with Nor-Lake products - can't say I have ever heard of that
make let alone own one. This is a common problem and many people loose £££
worth of food as a result. Forgive me, I am sure you must be well aware of it.
Even though I understand the function of thermostats well enough I can't my
head round why this is happening. I repeat - when the ambient temperature
descends below that which the freezer is set for the freezer cuts out. Then
when the ambient rises again above that setting the freezer doesn't come back
on and that is when the problem arises - food gets spoilt because it defrosts.
These machines don't have two thermostats - one to read the internal
temperature and one reading external. I think they only have the one stat
reading internal temperature. So I think it has to be more of a problem than just the
stat control.
Looking at different manufacturers products there is
very little said about this problem and the only ones I have seen (so far) that
address the issue are many thousands of pounds more expensive. This is why I
have posted on this site. Over to you! Roger
