Carol - For model number MZF34X16DW00

July 27, 2026

WHAT TYPE OF ELECTRICAL PLUG IS NEEDED FOR THIS 18 CFT FREEZER LOCATED IN A GARAGE. IT IS CURRENTLY PLUGGED INTO A 110V GFI OUTLET. THE OUTLET IS A DUAL PLUG OUTLET WITH A RECHARGEABLE BATTERY- POWERED VACUUM CLEANER PLUGGED INTO THE OTHER OUTLET. THE GFI HAS RECENTLY TRIPPED. SHOULD THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET BE UPGRADED? IF YES, WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED UPGRADE?

Hi Carol, thank you for the question. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your freezer be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. We hope this information helps!

Randy - For model number MZF34X18FW00

March 9, 2023

Why is the top half of my freezer warm and the bottom half cold?

Hi Randy, thank you for contacting us. Based on our research, we would recommend you check that the air vents are clear. Get all items out at one time, keep food organized, and close the door as soon as possible. Adding a large amount of food warms the freezer causing the freezer to run longer to cool back down. Check that the temperature control is set correctly for surrounding conditions. You also need to check the temperature sensors, part numbers PS11753994 and PS11753996, the evaporator fan motor, and part number PS11753712. We hope this solves your problem!

Compressor would not run. My daughter was told that compressor was bad and needed to be replaced. Cost would be $550 labor plus parts. I could hear a clicking sound I believe was made by the starter relay. I ordered the parts from part select and had them in three days.

I took the screws out of back panel and slid water line and panel off to the right side while I removed the capacitor and starter relay. Relay was probably the only problem, but I replaced capacitor too while I was doing the repair. Finished removal and replacement in about 20 minutes. While I had panel off I cleaned coils that I coul ... Read more

A Bit Difficult

Nutdriver, Screw drivers, Socket set

The repair seemed simple, I just needed to remove the old bracket -- 4 screws -- and slip the new one on.

The tricky bit is that the roller bracket holds the weight of the fridge. So in order to make sure that the fridge did not fall over, and to keep the installation point off the ground so that I could align the screw holes, ... Read more
