SOURCE: food thawing in freezer

You may have a small leak in the evaporator. You could try to get a replacement freon with stop leak from the automotive store and give it a shot. If it is a R12 unit then it is too old to repair. But it is worth the gamble to shoot it with freeze 12 or an equivilent before you condemn it.

SOURCE: kenmore upright freezer no digtal light no motor running

This could be a bad controller since you had a power outage, or even a bad motor. Look in your operator's manual and see if there is a reset button somewhere near the motor.

Unless you are well versed in electronics and have the proper equipment, you'll be unable to diagnose the control board anyway.

As a last ditch effort, which sometimes works, unplug it for about 5 minutes and then plug it back in. Make sure your thermostat is turned to the correct setting.

SOURCE: Upright Frigidaire freezer with warning buzzer on constantly

If your'e positive the temp is ok then your freezer cold control may be bad. Slowly turn it toward off. If the compressor doesn't cut off before it gets to off, the control is probably bad. Test it here>http://www.acmehowto.com/howto/appliance/refrigerator/refrigerator.php

SOURCE: I have a True Freezer, the compressor comes on but

http://www.truemfg.com/pdf/InstallManuals/T-SERIES/t_series_english.pdf
Go to this web site and look in the manual on page 15. Check "Compressor runs but will not refrigerate". Gives some suggestions.
Now, inside the evap, usually strapped or clipped to the coil "U" turn on the end of the coil, is a Klixon device. This device comes in many different configurations. There may be 1 or 2 of these. One is a defrost termination switch. When evap gets hot enough so no frost is present, it terminates the defrost cycle. The other is a fan delay. It comes on when the coil temp gets to about 20 degrees. This prevents circulating warm air from defrost cycle. Now if there is only one device, it can be 2 in 1. That is, a defrost terminator/ fan delay. Will most likely have 3 wires going to it where as the 2 separate ones will only have 2 wires to each one. Now, either this fan delay is not working correctly or the coil is not getting cold enough. When it gets cold enough, it turns on the evap fans. This is most likely where your problem lays. Check it out.

Fallowed instructions for start up. twice. let the product set over night and did start up again and fail. the freezer will not chill more than 70. compressor seems to humm but not doing the job.

U might want to replace the start capacitor that gets the compressor to run. If that does not do the trick and you are sure that the compressor is receiving power from the thermostat then you have a compressor problem.

Let me know if the compressor is hot and we will know the compressor is trying to start but cannot. Replacing these parts will possibly solve the problem of your freezer being on but not freezing everything, We need to make sure the compressor is running, Thanks Sea Breeze

I have a Frigidaire upright freezer. Power coming into freezer. Light inside works, and the temp setting on the door works. Not getting any power through the system to the compressor.

Contact a professional. The power supply source needs to be testing to the compressor and see if the power is fine, or if the compressor is faulty and not drawing needed power.

Not getting any reading from control board on GLFU1767FW2 upright freezer

Is the compressor etc. still working? It might just be the display. I have known the display to be run off batteries rather than the pcb itself!

Plugged in freezer after standing 3 days unplugged compressor ino

That sizzling noise i suspect is either the compressor overload or start capacitor burning out .
You need to look in connection box on side of compressor,the relay should just pull off once cover is off.BEWARE even with the freezer unplugged there is a charged capacitor connected inside this box and will give you a nasty shock should you touch it! with insulated pliers touch all terminals to each other and earth to make sure capacitor is discharged .You should be able to get astart capacitor and overload from local repair shop there not expensive if this doesn't fix it the compressor is possibly locked up and will need replacing

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

Frigidaire Ultrafreeze upright just stopped working

It sounds as if your compressor it's running. This could be a bad compressor, bad capacitor, bad thermostat. See that there are no fans or defrost, it is one of the other. I would start with checking the capacitor. You can replace it with a Supco 3 in 1. It cost around $30.00. Anything else is going to start costing $100.00 and more. If you need a freezer that big, I would have it fixed unless it ends up being the compressor.

Fridgidaire upright freezer alarm FFU2065FW

If the compressor is not running but you do have power to the refrigerator, there may be a problem with one of these:

The compressor,The Thermostat,The overload, relay, or capacitor,The defrost timer,The condenser fan motor.
Try to troubleshoot each of these componet one after the other using eliminating method.
That may solve your problem.
