Upright freezer got wet @ bottom when basement flooded, is it worth fixing?

Make sure everything is clean of debris and I would personally see if you could cool the area around the unit. Maybe use a fan or turn the air down in that room. Humidity and hot temps kill a unit's sealed system.

If you replace the starter on the compressor unit and start capacitor and timing unit, will work as new. good luck, take ur unit upstairs next time. Russ

You have to fix crack , as it will keep your compressor running the kill your compressor. You fix the leak at local repair shop

Yes it will work again. But I would not trust it. If you do want to use it you will want to let it dry out fre at least one week.

Water damage is hard to remove because it could have goten to the electrical parts: motor, compressor, timer, etc.. while it was still running. you need a volt meter to test these parts out no reset sorry

if it was running with water then toss it out...
sorry
call a service guy and he will tell you the same for $80!!! save your money
you can try to raise your freezwer off the ground when you get your new one...

hope this was helpful

If it has a fan in the freezer it need to be running to circulate the cold air.
If the coils are not icing up evenly from top to bottom you have a system low on freon.
The light frosting is normal.
A model number would really help to troubleshoot the problem.

If unit is running then it is not worth fixing. I cannot see your repyl due to some tech issue w/ the site, so it may be a day or so before I can reply again. Please leave feedback for me if appropriate. Thanks

Defected DEFROST HEATER can cause frost build up on the panel at the back of the freezer,and freezer stop cooling and ice frozen on unit so air could not flow to refrigerator side.Water will coming out caused of unbalanced freezing,and causing the flooding of water in the floor. You must change this defroster heater assembly so it will works normal again..


Hope this may help;

Check condenser fan to see if it's working. It's the fan next to compressor
