What Abnormally high temperature
actually means.
Dacor freezer columns linked to the SmartThings app can raise an alarm when the freezer reaches abnormally high temperatures. The alert arrives on the phone, not as a code on the cabinet, and it means frozen food may be starting to soften.

What to do when Abnormally high temperature shows on the freezerKind of codeTemperature and alarms
The freezer measured a cabinet warmer than it should be and said so, sometimes with the highest temperature it reached while nobody was looking. The cause can be as simple as a door left ajar or a long power outage, or as serious as a compressor that stopped. Keep the door or the lid shut and check whether the food is still hard before anything else; the alarm is a warning about the food, not a diagnosis.

Repairing the dial thermostat or the sensor and control that decide when a freezer cools, so it stops running without end or quitting too early.
Shows up asStandalone Freezer Not Freezing
A standalone freezer not freezing shows it on a thermometer long before the food goes soft: packages give under your thumb, a tub of stock is slush at the center, and the cabinet air feels cool rather than biting.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Dacor's own guidance for Abnormally high temperature on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Check the freezer right away: ice cream and meat should be hard; if they are soft, move them to another freezer or a cooler with ice.
Keep the door closed, confirm the display has power, and look for a door left ajar or vents blocked by packages.
If the temperature does not recover within a few hours, book a visit and mention the SmartThings alert and the time it arrived.

What not to do
