Panel is hot and freezer does not work!
Check the condenser fan underneath the unit accessable form the back behind the cardboard cover. It should be running when the compressor runs.
OR
Check the evaporator behind the rear cover inside the freezer. Check for ice build up. . Light frost everywhere(NORMAL)
or a partial pattern of ice(LOW ON FREON) or nothing(LOW FREON OR COMPRESSOR
PROBLEM).
If the evaporator coils behind the back panel of the freezer
are icing up because of auto defrost failure that will stop the circulation of
cold air and eventually affect the freezer too.
check defrost timer, defrost heater, defrost thermostat. In
most newer models the timer has been replaced by an electronic control board.
If the heater and thermostat are ok it’ll be the control
