I thought modern freezers were meant to have better insulation,
so why is mine always running?

Try using some common sense, Peter. Either there is something
wrong with it, or it's user error.

Not "it", but almost every modern freezer, belonging to me or
otherwise.

If the outside walls of the freezer don't feel cold than it's
unlikely to be crappy insulation.

They do feel cold. (Attempting to delete your double negative)
So you're saying it IS crappy insulation, as I said.

Are you trying to freeze large amounts of unfrozen food?

No.

You could have your thermostat set too cold, in which case the
compressor will run continually because it is trying to reach a
temp it can't attain.

It's set so all the freezer is -18C or lower.

You might have your superfreeze on, so it will run continually.

It doesn't have that function, and I haven't seen that on anything
made in the last two decades. Not sure why they ever had it, you
always want the inside to be at -18C or less, so the stat should
turn on if it's above -18C. You just don't need to tell it you've
put new food in.

Does it need defrosting? That can cause the freezer to run
continually as the frost build up acts as insulation preventing
it
from reaching the set temp.

All freezers have been frost free for the last two decades, so no.

It could be short of gas or the compressor may be not pumping
efficiently. The thermostat may be knackered.

I'm talking about NEW freezers.

Rule out what could be the problem, don't assume.

BTW, you're a ****wit.

Evidently not, as nothing you've said was of any use.

It's funny how you and only you have this problem, then, isn't it?
Seeing as how a great national debate about crappy freezer
insulation seems to be curiously absent.

Because nobody else has noticed the ****ty designs?

No, it's because you are doing something wrong. My freezer stops
when it reaches the desired temp, just like most people's
freezers. But you would rather argue with strangers on the
interweb than try to solve the problem.
Well, it's your electricity bill, you obnoxious, nym-shifting
****.

At what point did I say mine doesn't switch off at the desired
temperature? The answer is I didn't.

At the top of this post you wrote "so why is mine always running?"

Yes, which means it's on more than I think it should be, considering we
must have invented better insulation by now.

That's a stupid measure of how good the freezer is.

What matters is power use over time in the environment
you have the freezer in. Better insulation and a smaller
compressor because the insulation is better will still
produce that superficial result of the compressor running
for the same amount of time as the original dinosaur.

Please learn basic English
before engaging in a discussion with adults.

Yes, you should, ****wit.

It's you that misunderstood my post entirely.

It was so badly stated that everyone did.
