with the amount of power most freezers need to start up (1st five seconds) I don't believe a ext cord is the safe thing to use , as most cords avail to homeowners are not of enough size to handle this power , a hot cord will produce a fire and will shut off power to outlet (if wired properly) either of these will be no good for freezer, its better to move freezer to outlet or have an electrician add one to your new location (its not as pricey as u think it is)
Sure that the outlet you are using is powered? Is power reaching the motor? - I had my power switch on my karcher break internally rendering machine dead. If power is reaching the motor for sure and it does not run then there has to be an open motor winding. If pump jammed you would hear a humming noise from motor and the breaker would pop.
Never ever use an extension cord with any major appliance. You can however, purchase a longer cord (exact same, just longer) at your local hardware store and install it directly to the machine. Anyone who can install a ceiling fan could do this for you. It's pretty simple. You could also remove the one that is on the machine and bring it with you to make sure you get the exact same wire (just longer). :-)
Standard extention cords are made for light draw applications like lamps and T.V.s. They are not heavy enough for the power that your A/C will draw. You can get an appliance extention cord that is made to handle heavier load such as you A/C. Most hareware stores carry them.
The most common problem is that people still try and run the welder with extension cords. 10 ft,25ft,50ft,100ft, these cords all drain and can't supply the energy needed as if you were to plug it straight into a wall outlet. well I don't have a plug outlet where my work is, I need a extention cord. The only solution for not having a handy outlet is a Generator. that will supply the necessary voltage needed to do the job. EXTENSION CORDS ARE A NO NO. also, always double check your ground.
Hope this was helpful, please post a rating good or bad, thank you.
heres a part number for a power cord 8566201, it costs about $50.. the same cord you can purchase at the big hardware store chains, home depot or Lowes, a heavy duty extension cord, with one end cut off, will be a fine sustitute and probly only $10 tops.. just buy a real thick extension cord
