I am assuming you are relating to the evaporator fan(s) not running. If this is the case, some units have a 'Klixon" type thermostat in the evaporator so when the evaporator coil temp reaches a predetermined temperature, the fans come on. You may have a bad "Fan Delay" (Klixon) or the coil is not reaching the proper temp to activate it to turn on the fans. I would check the wiring diagram on the unit for this part to see if this unit has it in the system.

SOURCE: true 49f goes into defrost

in many cases, these units have relays or contactors where the contact points actually weld together. this causes the unit to stay running even though power to the coil has been stopped. I'd start looking there first. don't over look the possibility that someone could have mistakenly miswired the unit.

SOURCE: I have TRUE freezer model number GDM-49F. the compressor start but the evaporator fan wont start what culd be the problem

Could be a number of things. It has a thermistor that sits on the evaporator to keep the fan off until it gets cold. It also has a switch above the door that switches the fan on when the door's closed. It could be a loose connection in the wiring, or, lastly, it could be a seized fan

SOURCE: We have a True TS-49F freezer that the interior

This is a freezer and the fans work off a temp sensor located inside the evaporator. This sensor tells the fans to spin once the coil gets to a certain temp around 10 degrees most will send power to the fans. So my question is... does the coil inside the freezer actually get cold enough to send power to fans. Is it a refrigeration issue not electrical. Another thing is take a straw or wood coffee stirrer and with door switch closed attempt to spin fan with stirrer. If it doesn't spin freely and has some resistance the motor is bad) Keep me posted. (You should be able to reach your hand behind coil to feel it.).

I have a Turbo Air TGF-49F freezer and it is not cooling. The compressor unit seems to work but when I turn the unit on all I hear is the compressor running continuously but nothing gets cold.

Difficult for you to check this I'm afraid, if the fan on the cooling unit is working unless you have an experienced 'ear' you will not hear the compressor running or worse still occasionally clicking.
Possible faults are
1. Compressor not running (the fan will run even if the compressor does not) electrical fault
2. Compressor seized (consult your service guy) also true for the rest of these
3. Compressor not pumping
4. Refrigerant leak

Not much hope for a cheap repair

Hi. I don't not a thing about freezers so please bare with me. Our freezer stopped working. It seems like the fan is still running however there is no cold air. I tries turning off the freezer but the same...

so the freezer has no cold air at all correct then this would be a compressor or board problem with the machine and it is best to call a technician asap if you have no cold at all most of the time it would be the compressor but i also believe that model has a board controling the compressor so call the technician asap If you have any further questions please message me back Thanks again

True 49f goes into defrost mode the contact opens for the compressor but the compressor keeps running

in many cases, these units have relays or contactors where the contact points actually weld together. this causes the unit to stay running even though power to the coil has been stopped.

True upright freezer. coil fan not running.

Let it run. Coil temperature has to be low enough for the fan delay switch to close.

Model # t49f 2 dr. freezer unit tripping 20amp

Probably the compressor has shorted.
99.999% of the time this is the main culprit.
Otherwise wiring short.

Temperature at 10 degrees

check condenser fans, if defective or running slow change it

if condenser fan is running, suspect a compressor with internal mechanichal problems, it will run but i can't guarantee how long, maybe a couple of weeks or days. if it's an copelamic compressor, it's going bad.
