GE chest freezer, 6 years old, something like 19 cubic feet,

The temperature runs to -15 to -10 degrees F when I have it on the
warmest setting, which is to say it is colder than what I want, namely 0
degrees.

I am afraid it may be wearing out its compressor.

What is probably wrong?

Thanks.

How much food is in your freezer ?

It sounds like it is almost empty if it is maintaining temperatures
like that on the warmest setting (which is 1 on your freezer)...

It is full, but not packed tightly. The food is in cardboard boxes, but
it doesn't nearly fill all the space.

Hi,
Tried to adj. 'stat? Usually mounted in the back near the compressor.
