What does it mean if red light comes on with constant buzzing

Please keep in mind here that this freezer is 35 years old and it will eventually reach a point where it will be easier to replace it.
All freezers and fridges click, rattle and buzz as they cycle through there job. You only really need to worry if the noise is louder, random or is constantly happening. Some older freezers have a 'Boost' switch where you can turn up the freeze rate if you have recently put a large amount of food into the freezer. Don't use this all of the time as it is expensive to use and can wear out the freezer parts faster. Try flipping this switch and leaving it for 5 minutes to see if the noise changes.
Has the freezer been moved recently? Sometimes if a fridge or freezer isn't level it will make extra noises.
Is the freezer still as cold as it normally is? The noise could be the evaporator fan starting to fail. Get a qualified technician look at it as he will be able to listen to it and give you better advice.

Is the buzzing coming from the compressor, or from the switch itself?

Starting the Appliance
Insert the plug into the wall socket. The green pilot light will illuminate to show that the appliance is switched on. The red alarm light will also illuminate until the freezer reaches the correct temperature.

Alarm Light
The red alarm light will illuminate when the temperature in the freezer is higher than the thermostat setting. This alarm light will illuminate if:
- The appliance has just been started.
- Fresh food has been put in the freezer.
- The lid has been left open, opened frequently or open for too long.
The red light will go out when the freezer has returned to the correct temperature

Hi, Could be that the freezer temperature is to low

try cleaning vents/drain holes in whole unit this should allow more air to flow.also when did you last manually defrost whole unit.....

this means that temp is below -18 deg Celsius,and probably compressor is not good,or gas is leaked.

it is telling you your freezer isnt cold enough

you may have a bad compressor or a bad compressor relay. The buzzing noise sounds like the compressor trying to start but can't. Unplug the unit and pull the relay off the compressor. If it rattles like gravel in side it replace the relay. If it doesn't then you may need to call a repairman to check the compressor. Hope this helps.

Hi there

• Green = Ready (Power ON)
  
• Amber = Super Speed Freeze
• Red = Warning overheating or fault.

Hope this helps

Thanks J
