WILL it "perform" - Sure!!! Butttt... And you know there had to BE one... It's HOT as molten lava in Texas in the Summer & several more months of the year! So it only stands to reason that it WILL make it more difficult for the unit to EXHAUST HEAT from it's outer coils - much as indoor cooling systems DO - when the AMBIENT air temps around it - are SO abnormally HOT!

It MAY force the unit to work HARDER to maintain it's interior temps & take LONGER for it to RECOVER from door openings - when it sits in such HOT environs vs. most indoor air-condition cooled home temps. Don't YOU have to work noticeably HARDER & under more PHYSICAL STRESS outdoors vs. indoors??? It may also shorten it's average expected "lifespan" as well. I absolutely WOULDN'T put mine in my garage here in Georgia!

Hi, I'm Brenda with GE.

Thanks for your interest in this GE freezer.

To obtain efficient operation, a freezer should be installed properly. Below is what we recommend:

~Place the freezer where the surrounding temperatures will not exceed 110 degrees F. or fall below 0 degrees F.
~Position the freezer in a dry, well ventilated room. Do not install it in a closet.
~Be sure to install the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
~Place it solidly on the floor. If the floor is uneven, use shims to level the freezer.
~Allow for a 3" air clearance on each side, and a 1" air clearance in the rear of the freezer.

I hope this is helpful. Should you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate letting us know.

Question

Yearly cost to operate freezer

One GE rep stated that the freezer has an approx. yearly usage of 621 kWh. Another GE rep stated that the cost to use the freezer is $66 based on a .65 kwh rate - Using numbers from both reps isn't that over $400 a year to operate? What is the correct cost to operate this freezer?

The variables are impossible to calculate specifically. It came with the slightly less than 7.0 EER {energy efficiency rating} and guestimate of approximately $66 per year operational costs - But HOW can anyone average KW hour RATES - vs - How LONG or OFTEN the USER stands with the door wide OPEN while hunting for specific items or re-stocking??? The averages are simply light years BETTER performance & cost / value ratios than the old manual defrost unit we HAD. Hope that helps with your considerations on this unit.

Honestly unsure - but WHY would you WANT the High-Temp Alarm NOT to sound off? Can only say I WISH the old manual defrost Freezer HAD a High-temp alarm - to let me KNOW when the door seal HADN'T overnight & we LOST $$$ & food that completely defrosted in the door panels. The "alarm" isn't terribly LOUD - so you might not even HEAR it if not in the same general area with the freezer. Also LOVE the lighted TEMP SETTING number on the outside of the door & High Temp red light on the outside of the door itself!

Hello Laura,

This is Donna from GE and I will be happy to assist you with your question on the GE 13.7 cu. ft. Frost-Free Upright Freezer model FUF14SVRWW.

A freezer or refrigerator should always be plugged into its own individual electrical outlet (115 volt, 60 hertz, single phase AC). The freezer should be on a dedicated circuit. This is recommended for best performance and to prevent overloading house wiring circuits. It could cause a possible fire hazard from overheating wires.

All current GE freezers require a 15 amp fuse/breaker (no larger size is necessary).

Note: volts x amps = wattage

Start-up amps and wattage are usually 3 times more than running amps or watts. The rating plate on each refrigertor will list the running amps and the voltage.

I hope this helps.

Hey there Woodchuck, I'm Blake from Home Depot's online community. This is a great question, hold on tight because its going to get nerdy!

Essentially when a freezer is cooling, condensation will accumulate on the cooling coils. This condensation will freeze and build up. After 6-8 hours a defrost timer shuts off the fan, and turns on a heating coil that melts the ice off the cold heat exchanging coils. The melted ice then runs down a drain line into a pan that sits near the hot heat exchanger on the bottom of the freezer. When the cooling cycle starts back up the hot coils of the heat exchanger will cause the water to evaporate into the room. Having the water close to the hot coils actually helps the fridge run more efficiently (think water cooled engine VS air cooled engine).

Because the freezer evaporates all condensation there is no drain line needed. I hope this helps Woodchuck. If you have any other questions we would love to see you over on the how-to community http://Community.HomeDepot.com

It is very confusing when the answer to a question here states the handles on upright freezers are on the right. However when you look at the actual freezer here pictured on the Home Depot site the handle on the freezer is on the left. So can someone please clarify this for me. Exactly which side is the handle on and which side does the door open? PLEASE DO NOT GIVE OUT MY EMAIL ADDRESS TO ANY ONE OR ANY OTHER COMPANY.

All upright freezers are hinged on the right and the handle is on the left. This is called a right hand door swing because the hinges are on the right.

Question

What should the alarm sound like on the FUF14SVERWW and is it continuous?

We just bought this model and plugged it in. The light came on for the high temp warning but no audible sound. Then we held the door open for the 3 minutes and the red light came on warning that the door was ajar and we heard 3 little tiny beeps. Is that the alarm? What should the high temp alarm sound like and will it run loud and continuous to warn you or is it just a silly chirp. I bought this specifically for the alarm so I hope it isn't a chirp as the unit is in the garage and we would never hear just a beep or chirp nor would we pass by it often enough to see the red dot.

Hello,

This is Donna from GE and I will be happy to help you with your quesiton on freezer model FUF14SVRWW. Yes, there is an audible temperature alarm. No, it is not a continuous sound.

The temperature alarm will sound if the freezer temperature rises above 20 degrees F. An ON/OFF switch allows the temperature alarm to be deactivated when not wanted. After the freezer has run long enough to lower the temperature, you may activate the alarm. Alarm is located behind the front grille.

* To activate the alarm: push a key or the eraser end of a pencil into the hole marked "ON" and move the rocker switch to the "ON" position.
* To deactivate the alarm: move the switch to the "OFF" position. Chest freezer monitor: the temperature alarm will sound if the temperature in the freezer rises to 10 degrees F., or higher than normal for the selected setting. The alarm (usually on the back of the freezer next to the control dial) is controlled by a 3-position switch.
"OFF"prevents the alarm from sounding when the freezer is warm, as it is during cool-down, when defrosting, or during initial start-up.

I hope this helps.
