Make sure you have power going to the unit. Check the thermostat for power on both sides going in and coming out. You need to give me more info. before I can suggest anything else.
I wouldnt worry about the ground and the adapter thing right now, its there as a safety it does not effect the way it works. Without the right equipment its going to be hard to help you, but here it goes. Unplug the power cord, take the wires on the thermostat and connect them together, by-passing the thermostat. plug it in, go to the compressor, see if its running, if not, observe it, see if its making a buzzing sound for a few seconds then clicks and stops. Repeating every minute or so. If this is happening, then the compressor is stuck=need new one. If its still dead silent, cut the power again remove the plastic cover on the compressor and check the wires going to it, sometimes its only a burnt wire there.

First, they said in the manual not to plug the cord into an adapter if you don't have a outlet with the ground pole. I have an old house and all of my outlets in my kitchen don't have a hole to put the cord. I've been using adapters. So I changed that with a new outlet. This outlet also has my fridge,micromave,toaster and lights. Should I run a new wire to my breaker box?
When I plug in the chest freezer the lights come on and the alarm goes off giving me a warning that it is to warm. The compressor never comes on, and the box never gets cold.I don't have a meter to check the thermostat.
What should I do next?
Thanks,
Buck
