Sounds like your freezer has lost its charge of refrigerant. That motor sound is the compressor. And the internal thermal overload is tripping it out every minute because refrigerant also cools the compressor motor. Have a licensed repairman find the leak, seal it,and recharge it with R134a refrigerant.

Water shorted out freezer power switch, where can I get replacement part. (Texas)

Most electrical jobbers should have a replacement, as long as it fits and the ratings are the same or higher, you can use it. Just take the old one in with you to match it up.

I have whirpool chest freezer defrosted and off for 4 months then turned on 2 red lights going motor is running but not freezing turned up temp to coldest tempurature with amber light on stil the motor...

Since the motor is running, the compressor it is connected to must also be running. The compressor is the thing that provides the cooling under normal circumstances. The only thing I can think of as to why you are not getting cooling is that the refrigerant charge has leaked out of the system. I don't know anything about the red lights you mention.

My Avanti CF142 chest freezer won't work on normal setting. It will work on Quick freeze so I know the compressor is good. Any ideas why it won't work on normal setting. The green light won&

Sounds like your control switch is going bad. Good thing you have the quick freeze button. You may want to go ahead and replace it. The whole thing will go out soon. This is something you can replace yourself.

Why dose the freeze only freeze around the top and not the bottom

Hi, Please check your fan for malfunction. Set the thermostat a little bit colder and observe your freezer.

Freezer not freezing after electric plug went out. Plug was out for a day or two before I noticed it. When I plugged freezer back up, will not get cold.

Is your circulating fan working?
Sometimes they stick and need a shot of WD 40 and then work
it back and forth a little until it wants to take off again. Keep me informed
and PLEASE give a Thumbs Up for the effort. The Raz Shack

Stop no work

If your freezer is not running at all you will need to change the temp control.If it is running and no freezing then you may have a seal system leak.
