New Beko freezer running most of the time?

[jazzyman]

Just purchased a new Beko FFP3579W upright freezer to replace my old 10 year freezer because the old freezer was running most of the time.

However, the new Beko freezer seems to have a similar problem and is also running most of the time. It’s been 24 hrs since installed, freezer door hasn’t been opened, so I don’t know if this new freezer is faulty?

My previous freezer before it went faulty just came on a few times a day, which I thought was normal. Should freezers be running this frequently?

Checking the running time cycle, the freezer is on for 22 minutes and then off for 24 minutes and then keeps repeating this cycle

does sound ok

if its colder the off time will be more and if its warmer less

Ambient temperature doesn’t seem to make any difference. i.e. during nighttime when it is cooler this cycle remains the same. All my previous freezers never had this problem and just came on a few times a day usually when the door had been opened or when putting food into the freezer.
