Freezers - Recent Questions, Troubleshooting & Support
Do some gave the instruction manual for the Kelvinator FD830 Freezer. I am not sure how to set the temp on it?
Locate the Temperature Control Knob: The temperature control knob is typically located inside the freezer compartment. It allows you to adjust the temperature settings.
Understanding the Knob:
For Top Mount ™ Models: The temperature control knob is usually located in the refrigerator section. At higher altitudes (e.g., 1000 meters above sea level), set the refrigerator temperature control to one-half setting warmer than MID.
For Bottom Mount (BM) Models: Adjust the refrigerator temperature using the bottom knob.
Setting the Temperature:
Turn the knob clockwise (usually towards the "colder" side) to lower the temperature.
Turn the knob counterclockwise (towards the "warmer" side) to raise the temperature.
Adjusting the fridge compartment temperature may cause a small change in the freezer temperature.
Remember to allow some clearance around the freezer for proper ventilation.
How to test a frigidaire Freezer electronic control circuit board p/n 451704000
You can try reseating the controller. UNPLUG THE FREEZER FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET. Get a wide putty knife and insert it between the door and the controller bezel on the right side of the controller. Pry the controller out toward the top first (comes out easily) by twisting the putty knife handle so the top of the controller pops out and then grab the controller toward the bottom and pull it out as straight as you can. Get some dielectric grease and put it on the pins at the bottom on the back of the controller you removed from the door. Alternately, you could put wd40 on a cotton cloth and wipe the contacts. Make sure not the leave any debris on the pins other than a little bit of grease or wd40. Insert the controller back into the door and plug the freezer electrical cord back into the outlet.
I had some problems with the line voltage coming in my house. For a while the lights would flicker. I believe that this was a contributor to the problems I had with my freezer, which have lasted about five months now. I would intermittently find that the display was all lit up or that the led number segments would be dark, but a little red led was lit. Simply unplugging and replugging at the electrical outlet seemed to do the trick. Finally it seemed like it completely malfunctioned, not restarting after unplugging and replugging. Just dead. I finally pulled off the controller and put the dielectric grease on the pins and then whalla, it came on again without issue...well for 15 minutes so far.
I had a feeling that the issue was the controller all along because the freezer itself never seemed to have any problem getting cold or setting the temp, just this problem of shutting down every so often (2-5 times a week). I'll post back again with an update.

LOW / NO BATTERY ALARM
The Low/No battery alarm will activate when the

press the "ALARM RESET" button. The red alarm
light will remain on and the display will continue to

Tappan TFC13M0AW1 Chest Freezer. What part should I replace?
Question edited to add maker! All questions need 'make model (what it is) as first three words.
That is an overheating fault. Replace the fluff with no fluff.
Make sure the condenser coils are free of dust and there is good airflow
Or
It is low on refrigerant gas and you need a service tech..
