I have a Emerson model CF450 3.5 cubic feet chest freezer and it quit freezing the food

Hi Trish:
1 cubic foot of water weighs 62.4 pounds so if you had 3.74 cubic feet of water (not frozen) it would weigh just over 233 pounds.
Most of the frozen veggies you put in a freezer have air space and the specific gravity (weight per cubic foot) is quite a bit less than water. Meats are closer to the same weight per cubic foot as water, but you still have air spaces between the packages.
I'd guess that you could get 95 lbs of food in it but you would have to pack it very carefully.

Apparently it is 14.8 cubic feet ... http://www.interschola.com/displayitem.php?items_id=15836

Try plugging something else in the outlet. A lamp would work to make sure you did not trip a circut breaker when you plugged back in after defrost.

23 to 29 cubic feet....

what model is it!

Good Morning, thank you for your question! This particular unit is a 12-13 cubic foot freezer. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to reconnect.

17.77 Cubic feet

The model number indicates the cubic footage of the freezer.
Example...model number xyz186xxww.,would be 18 cubic feet.
Post your model number on this thread for an exact conversion.

i would let it run for about an hour then stock it. this is what we recommend after servicing

It may need to be recharged.
