I had a power surge at my home. my upright freezer 253.26052103 quit working. upon doing some checking, i am getting no power to the compressor. lights work, warning buzzer works , door switch works, lights at bottom of freezer work. what would cause no power to compressor?

1. You can hear the compressor running.

2. The temp setting you turn the thermostadt to starts and stops the compressor.

3. Look in your manual for a reset button and the location.

4. If you are familiar with a meter, grab the manual and check it it. But I doubt it is the resistance.

5. Sounds like a bad motor or low freon. If you have a lot of food in it, and the above didn't work, bite the bullet and call a repairman, although it sounds like much of the food is past saving if it is really defrosted.

Make sure the wires leading to the compressor are working. If not, the compressor might have given up the ghost.

They make generic "compressor packs" to solve these. Your capacitors and relay and parts that support the compressor operation went out.

If you're really really like just the temp overload switch went and you can jumper bypass it. It usually looks like a piezo electric type of disc connected right onto the comp case itself.

But you're right with the DT, the motors go out on them a lot. They are usually for 4/6/10/12 hours depending on make and model. Sometimes the contacts go So if you could isolate them... they're on the larger side and will go from the power to the compressor. Use a jumper and test for a complete circuit to the plug and through the compressor before trying it.

By law all freezers and ovens have to have a schematic diagram on them. Often it it in a little plastic package and sometimes just wallpapered to the inside of a large piece of sheetmetal in back.

Good that you know how to use a meter!

Hi Dugga,

This seems to be a problem with the circuit board ,

This causes fault in it that does not allow the board to come back on or work properly sometimes if the power blinks off and back on.

You need to check if the part is under warranty , if it is , then get it replaced for free or you can buy a new board so that this problem is eradicated once for all.

This is not a new problem , there were many defective boards that were recalled by the company and replaced free of charge, probably you were left out.

Hope this helps ..:)
