Last night I noticed my freezer, refrigerator, and oven were all not on. They are all connected to a surge protector and surge protector outlet and it has never been a problem. I unplugged all appliances and plugged the refrigerator and freezer and the surge protector shorted out. I then just plugged the refrigerator and oven and everything was o.k. I tried to plug just the freezer and it made the same problem.
-   I defroster our upright freezer, and now when I plug it in, it trips the whole wall. As long as the freezer isn't plugged in, the electric works fine on that wall (there is also a fridge plugged in to that wall in our garage. Theyboth worked fine until I defrosted the freezer!). What now? -   ahoskins
if thats the case should be an apparent wire off, somethings shorting directly to ground. the chest freezer has all of its wiring behind the access panel on the side of unit , no other wires in machine id look right there for something obvious

I've been using a chest freezer as a frig running it with a Johnson Controls external thermostat. It's been working great staying at a constant 35-40 degrees fahrenheit. The past month it's started to warm up inside. The motor is running, I hear fluid in the walls of the unit. The top section started to get frosty while the rest of the unit would remain fairly warm. This unit has a flash defrost that I initiated. The front internal walls of the unit got very hot while the back was only moderately warm. I unplugged it and let it sit overnight. I plugged it in the morning and let it run all day. The unit was only moderately cool after 10 hours. The thermostat is set on 7 (max). I've adjusted it off and max several times. I hear the unit running the whole time. When I adjust it to 7 after turning it off I hear something else energize for a few seconds and then shut off.
This happened once.
Any assistance with this is greatly appreciated. My kegs are getting warm.
Best regards,
Ross
