Wiring diagram of the chest freezer turned into chest fridge. The junction box is not required if all connections are made inside the fridge service compartment. Active (A) connection passes via latching relay terminals inside the thermostat.
Yes, the freezer / refrigerator is a heat pump, it transfers heat from the inside to the outside.
Heat transfer effitiance is reduced if the outside is at hight temperature, so it is sudgested to allow free air flow for the back of the cooling device (where the radiator is )
It may be just coincidental but it may need a recharge; most cooling systems eventually leak and if it has been standing in a hot area, this may have accelerated the loss.
Get an estimate before having anyone come since the cost may be higher than the freezer's current value.
is this a chest freezer? Thick frost around top? try defrosting unit. DO NOT scrape the ice. Very important to remove drain plug to remove water or frost will very rapidly redeposit
The reason this happens is because the defrost timer is not turning back on when it needs to, causing the freezer to thou out and overfill the drip tray sitting on top of the compressor.
A new defrost timer should be available from the local refrigeration wholesalers in your area.
