What High Temp Means

The HIGH TEMP light on an Icon all-freezer comes on when the cabinet exceeds 23 F; after one hour the alarm sounds and the cabinet temperature is displayed. The alarm stays active until the temperature drops below 23 F again.

Common Causes of High Temp

  • Door left open or not sealing
  • Large warm load added
  • Cooling problem

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Check the door is closed and the gasket seals. Avoid loading a large amount of unfrozen food at once. Silence the tone with ALARM OFF and give the freezer time to recover.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • If the door is fine and the alarm repeats, the fan, defrost or sealed system needs a technician.
  • Refrigerant work requires EPA-certified handling.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
