15 cu. ft. chest freezer

Freezer won't start after being unplugged for 6 months

Anonymous Apr 24, 2008

Well, our feezer will start, but it won't cool. It has been unplugged for roughly 4 months now, and upon start-up, the compressor does come on. However, aside from that, simply nothing is happening. Huh?

Remove the back panel, if there is one, find the compressor. Put your hand on it. If its very hot, you have a problem. You should feel a slight vibration if good and running. If The overload is shutting off keep your hand there and wait a few minutes, see if there is a clicking noise coming from the compressor. This is just a start, but you said it has been off for a while so my first suspect is a compressor. Do these things and let me know for a follow up.

After being unplugged for one year, my Frigidaire 5 cu. ft. / 142 liter Chest Freezer FFC05M0A turns on, but does not get cold. What is the problem?

It's probable that you've lost refrigerant in the cooling system. Unfortunately, leaks in those systems can be hard to find so check your warranty to see if the labor is still covered.
