Turn the interior temperature control back on by setting at approx halfway between "off" and "coldest". (Make certain the branch circuit is hot - you should hear the compressor turn on when you set the control, possible an interior light will come on as well).

If the freezer does not run, check to see if you accidiently pulled the flash defrost plnger (if equipped). (See age 8 in your manual).

if it has the run amp x3 is startup

then you should be fine
i will say most SP are rated at 15amps
my freezer is rated at 18amperes

I noticed that my refrigerator, kenmore freezer, and stove were all not on. This has not ever been a problem before, so I unplugged the surge protector and reset the outlet.
