You may want to clean out the coils on the back and underneath the front as this is a common problem with most refrigerators and freezers. use a long skinny brush ( you can get one from your local hardware store ) and carefully sweep out that buildup, being careful to not be forceful as this may damage one of the lines. If this does not do the trick then you will probably need to call the service technician.
Good luck!!
Cut everything off for a few minutes then turn it back on and listen for a click from the compressor relay as the compressor tries to start.
Is the compressor motor running.If no check starter/overload relay. The relay is a small usually black cube shaped electrical part plugged into the compressor or wired to it nearby. It may appear burnt or rattle when shaken if it's bad. The two connections should show continuity with an amp meter. If it's good then it's most likely the compressor causing the problem.
Check to see if the condenser fan at the back underneath near the compressor is running. If no check fan.
Are the condenser coils near there warm or room temp. should be warm
Below the evaporator fan is the evaporator coils. Remove the back cover in the freezer to observe the frost pattern. Light frost everywhere(NORMAL) or a partial pattern of ice(LOW ON FREON) or nothing(LOW FREON OR COMPRESSOR PROBLEM).
Hi Tim, I really don't believe you need a charge unless you have had to charge it in the past, because of a leak. What you want to do, find the compressor on this unit, below in back or front, or some are on top. Make sure you feel it running, and see if the condenser fan motor by the compressor is also running. Check the condenser coil and make sure its clean, and make sure the indoor evaporator fan is running. These are things you can check on your own to find out if something is going on with a part. The only time a unit needs freon is if it has had a leak in the passed, and it was never repaired, so it lost its charge when it was shut down for sometime. Check these things and get back to me. We can figure this out.

Everything is running including the compressor. It goes through a complete cycle and then shuts off as normal but it is still warm inside the unit. Any idea what the "CO" represents as it may be an error code and perhaps needs to be reset. The unit is very clean uptop and I noticed that the line from the compressor is not cold.
Hi, I have a Turboair
Problem with the Turbo Air Freezers
Hi, I have a Turboair 2 door reach in freezer. The issue is that it is not getting cold. It worked great but had been unplugged for about 5 months. When I turned it on the digital readout on the top read "CO" I am guessing that it needs to be charged but needed advice as well and didn't want to get killed from a over priced service call. Model number is GST 40DF kind regards, Tim View Comments
