All freezers should be in the 0 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately -18 degrees to -13 degrees Celsius) range. However, when you first turn on the freezer, or put a lot of food into it, it may take up to 24 hours for the freezer to reach this temperature range.
The freezer temperatures should be between -10 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit. The optimum temperature your freezer should be set at is between 0 and 5 degrees Fahrenheit. Visit the AP Wagner Appliance Repair Library for additional information on refrigerator and freezer temperature questions.
