How to regas chest freezer

Oil in the evaporator. It may come back if you leave it running for a few days, but usually needs flushing out.

your cooling system matchine facced this problem.

Hi
Normally what causes the refrigerator/lower chest not to be cold enough is that the fan that pulls the air from the freezer is not working.
Check to make sure it is working, if not then you will have to replace it.
If it is working then check you defrost timer, it could be faulty.
I will include these two websites for parts.

When you say "cleaned", did you defrost it? And. if so, could you have damaged the internal lining? Often the coil inside the wall of a chest freezer can fracture if hit or stabbed at during defrosting.
Other than that, is the compressor running (you would hear it)? it may have overheated. If not running, see if it feels hot (siezed) or cold (no power from thermostat). If cold, put it on fast freeze and see if it kicks into life (thermostat faulty) or not (compressor fault, time for a new freezer!)
Let me know how you get on!

Yes, the freezer temperature means the lid gets very cold. Every time you open it some moisture condenses in the lid and the outside ambient also affects it. The insulation may be beginning to break down and the ice is forming inside. It is not a major problem however and many freezers go on for years with freezing lids!

Chest freezers don't normally self defrost. They just freeze. To defrost them, you must shut them off.

yes the ambient temp has alot to do with the operation of the freezer.there may also be a issue with the temp control.

I had the same problem with an upright and so I bought a piercing valve and charged the compressor with 134R and has been working great since.
