Sound like the compressor is broken. The overload protection shuts down the compressor after a few second when it is not able to work properly.

As user, I don't think there is anything you can do but get some ice to save the food. A Technician may need to look at it as the compressor failure is a serious issue.

more than likely you're hearing the refrigerant passing thru the evap coil. it's normal. it may sound like water boiling, gurgling or popping.it's in your manual under normal operating sounds.

you could use a hair dryer to attempt to remold the gasket to the door
other than that i think you would have to replace the gasket

Yes, to prevent condensation from forming.

Check the coils in the freezer to see if they are blocked with ice.

CHECK AND SEE IF DRAIN HOSE IS RUNNING INTO PAN ABOVE COMPRESSOR

Not enough information but  if you are refering to the compressor as the black housing below, it seems that the compressor is either seized or burnt out.

there are no fuses on a domestic freezer that i have ever seen. there are no fans and there are no traditional freezer coils. so you have only a few things that could be going on. if the temp is way up the thermostat should sense hot and close and send power to the compressor and it should run. you can do one of two things . find the thermostat inside the freezer usually . gently remove cover and check incoming terminal and outgoing terminal. if you show 120 volts its open and the stats bad. if you don't show 120 volts between terminal connections then its closed and the compressor is failing to start. if power is coming into the stat when checked to ground then go to compressor and see if there are starting components . they are a start capacitor and a START RELAY AND PERHAPS A OVER LOAD . SEE IF POWER IS ARRIVING AT THE COMPRESSOR. IF SO CHECK THE MICROFARED OUTPUT OF THEcapacitor . you need within 10 percent of the rated value. also you can gently remove the overload , a little plastic disc and look on the bottom side and see if its cracked or burned looking. an amp probe on the compressor will tell you what amps it pulls if it trys to fire up . 6 to 10 is good 30 to 50 is mechanically locked up and then the overload trips. if compressor is ice cold to touch then your not getting power to the compressor and its not trying to run. if its hot to the touch thens its trying but start caps weak , or its locked up. most domestic freezers are not worth the cost of a new compresssor anymore. good luck

This could be normal for the summer. This is the right temp to keep it at. Some units are meant to run 80 - 90 % of the time. Turn it all the way up and check the temp. Most units when working properly can get below 0. Check the condensor underneath for dirt and to see if the fan is running under there. (smaller units don't have anything underneath) Some have coils in the rear and the smallest units just use the sides of the cabinet to disperse the heat. Check the gasket see if its sealing properly or maybe the door is warped and not closing at the bottom.

ok promblem 1 raise th front levelingm legs so that when the door is released from opening 1/3 of the way it shuts its self promblem 2 if the ice gets so thick it blocks the air intake of the freezer it cant cool your defrost drain is blocked its under the back panel in the freezer and needs to be cleared

Question edited for clarity and add maker. Question moved to correct category. 16 cubic feet for that series, the '16' in the model number. https://www.google.com/search?q=Frigidaire+FFU1424DW16+freezer+Cubic+feet ..

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Washing Machines category. It looks to be a standard 20 cubic feet freezer and has '20' in its model number. you can also measure it internally in feet and multiply length x width x depth. https://www.google.com/search?q=frigidaire+mfc20m4fw3+review ..

The error code -H9 on a Frigidaire upright freezer typically indicates a communication error between the control board and the display board. To troubleshoot this issue, try unplugging the freezer for a few minutes, then plugging it back in to see if the error code clears. If the error persists, it may be necessary to replace one or both of the boards. Contact a qualified appliance repair technician for further assistance.

According to the Frigidaire website, the cubic feet for the Frigidaire stand up freezer model MFU23BW4 is 23 cubic feet.

Many reasons why it may be loosing temperature. Such as Defrost problem, fan not running, sealed system problem, compressor problem

if have an amp probe [multi-meter] when turns on check amp draw on motor ----motor failure ---thermostat failure --no freon

Hey friend, thanks for your inquiry!

Within your Frigidaire freezer the error code "FF" stands for freezer failure. I would perform a reset on your appliance which can be done by either unplugging the power cord or flipping the household circuit breaker. Once the freezer has come back on you should be able to push the "Down" button three times to start it back up.

If that does not correct the issue Please respond back I would like to assist you with any additional information. Hope this helps to some degree. -Matt

It is under the temperature is has been set to. It should stabilise in about 4 hours..
