Quick Question I have a Danby Compact Freezer, and my Dad recently moved it into another room and the cord was to short to reach to the outlet and he had to use a Heavy Duty drop cord.. Is that safe?? My freezer is now making a sound and it wasn't before... Well having it on a drop cord cause it to tear up??

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.

What kind of extension cord is safe to use with this freezer?

with the amount of power most freezers need to start up (1st five seconds) I don't believe a ext cord is the safe thing to use , as most cords avail to homeowners are not of enough size to handle this power , a hot cord will produce a fire and will shut off power to outlet (if wired properly) either of these will be no good for freezer, its better to move freezer to outlet or have an electrician add one to your new location (its not as pricey as u think it is)

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.
