Not sure what a drop cord is but a compressor will either run or not as the case may be. Power supply variations can cause failure but not tear it up. If the compressor is running noisey then unfortunately it will continue to do so until it stops. However it could be that it is a vibration of the pipes due to the move causing the additional noise. I would suggest having a look at the back of the cabinet and seeing if you can pinpoint a bit more precisely the source of the noise. Hope this helps.

Inhave just reurned from a short holiday and found My Miele f1313s freezer has the alarm light flashing. Thoughts?

Make sure you have enough amps in the outlet its plugged into. The kitchen outlet might of had more amps than the garage outlet. Also, try unplugging it for a few seconds then plug it back it which might reset it.

Freezer not working

Hi,

Make sure the freezer is plugged in
Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker
Test the power outlet for voltage
Inspect the electrical cord for damage
Eliminate use of an extension cord, if any is being used
Check the outage votageIf power is reaching the electrical outlet, trace the freezer wiring and test components as you go. Either there is a short, which must be located and repaired, or the freezer has sustained electrical damage.

Thanks.

I moved my freezer and now will only stay cold for a short time, why?

You jard the liquids. Did you just move it a little or move like to another house because if you move a frig or freezer somewhere or lay on it's side you shouldn't plug in for an hour or more so it all settles or it won't work. Hope this helped

My brand new Danby compact chest freezer is very noisy.What is the problem?

It could be an area where the tubing is vibrating against the cabinet or it's touching other tubing. While it's running you can run your hand along the tubing and when you get to the vibrating area it should stop. You can then slightly move the tubing away from where it's vibrating. Do not bend or kink the tubing.
It could also be a noisy compressor which would be under warranty.

How is the thermostat temperature probe secured to the freezer's storage bay? I am replacing the thermostat on my freezer. Since I am replacing it I've decided to upgrade to a digital controller so I may have greater control on how the freezer operates and it's electricity consumption. The new thermostat temperature probe is different than the factory made version. The factory made version appears to be a solid piece of metal which is insulated and connected to the dial changes. The digital version I need to install uses a pair of wires connected to a metal probe about 3 inches long. I am asking how I should disconnect / remove the factory made thermostat probe so I don't damage the freezer. The compressor is still good. Is this as simple as tugging it out and then silicone the new one into place? Does anyone know if it is secured into place ... perhaps by welding or soldering? Thank you very much for any details you are able to provide.
