I have an igloo frf1050 10.6 cu ft chest freezer. power (red) and running (green) lights are on. compressor hums for 6 to 8 sec. then shuts off. no cooling or freezing. any help?

SOURCE: Frigidaire freezer 5 cu. / ft.

how old is it ? and if is just humming is etheir a locked compressor wich if it is then depending on age if is less than 5 years from todays date then just call frigedaire and they will fix it for free but is it was manufacture more than five years ago then is trash , now is just the overload then just buy the part and replace it and you will see if it turns on the overload is the part siiting right on the left side on compressor , fyi the maunufactures date is on the name plate on the wall i belived is on the left hand side

SOURCE: freezer freezes but does ever stop running

thermostat is stuck on! set to medium setting and gently tap stat. does it turn off? it was stuck. does it still run? its still stuck. if you feel comfortable find stat and power in and out. disconnect - it has to turn off then. but 99 % of the time its the stat. they fail closed and run 24 -7 or fail open and temps get real hot and they never close and restart compressor . yours appears to have failed closed. sometimes you can firmly twist em max cold to min cold a few times and break the stuck contacts and they'll do ok for a while. try to reset at a little higher or warmer temp when done so its not making and breaking on the same old worn spot again. good luck.

Place a volt meter set for amp draw around one wire of the compressor. If you do not have a constant amp draw replace the start relay on the compressor.
If you do have a constant amp draw the compressor is bad or you have a refrigerant leak.

It may be on "superfreeze", if there is a yellow light, or it may be set for too low a temperature (try setting the thermostat down to 1 or 2). Check the condenser is clean, and fan working if it has a fan, Check lid is closing properly and the ambient temperature isn't too high.. Lastly, if all else working correctly, suspect short of refrigerant.
