Step-by-Step Troubleshooting

Check condenser coil for dust clogging — Crane NV machines pull air from the bottom intake; clean the intake screen
Verify the condenser fan is operational — you should feel warm air blowing from the bottom of the machine

Check the door gasket for tears — cold air leaks cause the compressor to run continuously without reaching setpoint
