Abbie:
This is an upright freezer. It was completely defrosted one month ago, so there is minimal ice buildup. And, I vacuumed the dust bunnies off of the heat exchanger and other working parts.

The door seal seems good; can't pull a sheet of paper through it when door is closed.

Could it be a bad thermostat or temperature sensor? What else?

Thanks for responding.

Dave
