⚠ What This Means
Ice cream stored in the freezer is softer than expected. This may or may not indicate a temperature problem.
🔧 How to Fix
- Check the freezer temperature setting. The recommended freezer temperature is 0 deg F (-18 deg C).
- Higher quality ice creams with higher cream content typically require colder freezer temperatures to maintain firmness.
- Adjust the freezer temperature using the COLDER key pad if needed (range: -5 deg F to +5 deg F).
- Note: soft ice cream is not always an indication of a temperature problem -- it may be due to the cream content of the ice cream.
- Verify the condenser is clean and doors are sealing properly.
