Woods chest freezer it has stopped running 5 cu 0501W3

SOURCE: chest freezer

Need to find out IF the compressor is running or not.. thats the frist thing to do.

SOURCE: Chest freezer lid sticks in closed position

Yes, use silicon lubricant.

SOURCE: new chest freezer not getting cold

I am having the same problem. How long did it take?
I bought mine second hand and think it may be broken. I plugged it in 8 hours ago. I can hear it running but it's not cold yet.

SOURCE: freezer freezes but does ever stop running

thermostat is stuck on! set to medium setting and gently tap stat. does it turn off? it was stuck. does it still run? its still stuck. if you feel comfortable find stat and power in and out. disconnect - it has to turn off then. but 99 % of the time its the stat. they fail closed and run 24 -7 or fail open and temps get real hot and they never close and restart compressor . yours appears to have failed closed. sometimes you can firmly twist em max cold to min cold a few times and break the stuck contacts and they'll do ok for a while. try to reset at a little higher or warmer temp when done so its not making and breaking on the same old worn spot again. good luck.

SOURCE: Both springs on lid broken. Lid won't stay up.

Whatever is on the shelf (parts that have not sold yet) is your best bet. Someone in the USA has to have em cause it hasnt been that long out of business.

here's one place to start ( i couldnt get thru)
