Whirlpool Gold Resource Saver GI6FDRXX- do you really have to manually reset if you lose power?

Lost power for a few seconds the other day and the tech told us we have to manually "reset" the fridge if we lose power? This can't be true- what if we were out of town and lost all the food? He also didn't bother to show her HOW to reset it.

L oIf you are out of town, the freezer will keep contents cold for 24-48 hours. You can have a neighbor check on it while you are out of town, or you can take the food to a neighbors house, or you don't go at all. Think about this, you can't stop enjoying time away because the freezer may go out. What would you do if the water line broke in the house. The likelihood of that happening is greater than the freezer going out . Go and enjoy yourself. It likely won't happen again.

GX5FHTXVY Energy Star Gold 24.8 Cu. Ft. French Door Bottom-F

I am not a mechanic, but I do like to fiddle around with problems, to sort of i give my hand a 'try' at it. My next venture is to unplug the freezer, let it stand for a few hours, and re-plug it back on and see what happens. You never know. So, let's give it a go. That's it for now for me.

Freezer comes on fan starts after a few seconds goes off freezer unit freezes solid fan doesnt come on again fan is ok

Good day,
When the thermostat is turned on, the fan and compressor should come on and start at the same time. If the compressor continues to run and the fan doesn't, then the fan motor or the wiring to it are suspect.

Quote (The fan motor is o.k ). I doen't know how you tested it, but it still remains suspect, since the thermostat sends power to both of them at the same time.

Kenmore Upright Freezer 253.21741104 Loss of Power

Yes, it does have a control board. It is located under the rear of the freezer near the compressor. There was a service bulletin out a few years ago about the exact problem you are having. I will not be able to find out if your freezer falls under this design change until tomorrow when I get on my computer at the shop.
What is happening is the board has a fault in it that won't allow it to come back on sometimes if the power blinks off and back on. I am not sure if the repair credit is still active but we have changed the control boards on many of these units free of charge as recently as a year ago.
I will reply back when I find out for sure.

Top Shelf of Freezer Not Cooling

sounds like you may have a refridgerant blockage in the system. it may need a regas to see if it can be unblocked, as this is not a quick job it may cost you but phone around on the cost/feasibility of it. it may be just as well to get a new or second hand freezer.
