Chest Freezer/Refrigeration Question
-
hard to tell, even from this intensely detailed problem description. I'd start tracing power and go from there.
try to find a schematic for the unit - or just trace the wires and take pictures of what you find.The only thing between me and a train wreck is blind luck..... - Kenny -
If you can bypass all of its controls and run you own thermostat in their place you could save it if it's not a mechanical problem with the compressor.
Are you using a Ranco or similar inline thermostat? If so, take it out, plug the freezer direct to the outlet and turn the units thermostats up and down. If you hear the relay clicking, but get no compressor it's probably toast.Sign here______________________________ -

I'll check that out. I removed the Ranco and plugged in directly to the outlet and it didn't do anything. I'll check the thermostat next.
