My Freezer Stopped Coming On And Now Won’t Start At All?

If your freezer stops working, or is not freezing, it could have an issue with your thermostat, which controls the temperature. If your freezer has stopped working and is not freezing, there may be an issue with the starter capacitor. If your freezer is not freezing your food, that may mean that you have an issue with the compressors startup relay.

If you do not hear your compressor clicking, and the freezer is not cooling, there could be something wrong with your compressor or the compressor startup components. If you do hear the compressor motor running, but the freezer is not cooling at all, there may be an issue with the evaporator or condenser coils. If the compressor seems to be running, or is making some sort of buzzing or sound, but your refrigerator is not cooling at all, then it is time to call in the service professionals.

If you hear the compressor running, but your fridge is not cooling, it is more than likely that a frozen coil is the issue, or that a evaporator fan is jammed or broken. You will know it is the evaporator fan if the noise gets louder when you open the fridge door. To test for an evaporator fan motor, your freezer maintenance specialist will open the units doors and manipulate the door switches.

If the condenser fan motor has frozen, defrost your freezer before turning it back on. If a new starter relay unit has been installed, power your freezer back on and test to see if it is frozen now. To check for a problem start relay, your repairman will disconnect your freezer from the electrical grid and pull out the starter relay unit from your compressor.

If he powers up the freezer before it has time to settle, the compressor will not be working properly, or at all. The compressor produces, and then circulates, refrigerant through the freezer, so if your compressor becomes defective, your freezer does not get cold. The job of this freezer is to move air through condenser coils and distribute that throughout the entire unit.

The condenser coils convert the coolant from vapor into a liquid, releasing heat–the same heat that you feel when it is blowing around near your freezer during the cooling cycle. The evaporator takes heat away from the freezer, cooling the contents, and turning cool refrigerant back to hot vapor. A closed-loop refrigerant absorbs heat and moisture from an internal storage area, mostly the freezer, and passes through a series of coils, which pull off the heat and dissipate it to the air.

A bad door seal lets hot air into your refrigerator, leaking out cold air, enough that you cant keep the freezer from freezing. Every second that the door is left open increases the temperature of both the refrigerator and the freezer. If you adjust your refrigerators thermostat for a cooler temperature, the compressor in the fridge will activate, forcing lower pressure to flow through a cooling fan.

It comes with a sensor that tracks air temperature, adjusting it accordingly while supplying energy to the compressors motors and the fan circuit. The thermostat for controlling the temperature also has electrical contacts, which feed electricity into the compressor circuits when the freezer needs to start cooling. The purpose of a temperature control thermostat is to monitor your freezers temperature, then tell the control board how much power to send to the fan and the compressors evaporator so that the freezer can start freezing.

If broken, the thermostat would be unable to read temperatures accurately and would not be able to tell your appliance how cold inside your freezer is. A broken thermostat will not send electricity to the refrigeration system, and the freezer then does not get any cooling. If the compressor is continuously running, or even does not start, the cooling controls might be faulty.

A cold control stuck in the “open” position, or the defrost timer stuck in “defrost” position, also prevents your freezer from running. The inside contacts on the defrost timer may be bad, which causes the defrost timer to stop when it is defrost, meaning that the compressor is not being signaled to defrost air inside the freezer. Sometimes, a manual defrost will return your freezer to working condition.

Not every frost-free freezer will have a manual setting, and even if it does, you should still call in the repair professionals at Repair Aid to repair or replace your defrost timer for you. In most cases, fixing the problem causing your frost accumulation and letting your freezer run a couple defrost cycles will remove excess frost, and your appliance will return to normal.

If you have allowed your freezer to set up since you moved it, but it is still failing, then you are likely dealing with an electrical problem. A damaged or malfunctioning electronics control board can cause many problems, but one of the most common is that the compressor and fan motors are running constantly, effectively keeping the freezer from closing.

Another reason your freezer is running, but is not freezing is the fan in the evaporator being bad. If your condenser fan assembly, or the motor powering the fan, is faulty, then it is possible your Fridaire freezer is not freezing. Another reason why your Frigidaire freezer may not function normally is if your temperature-control thermostat has stopped working.

Well, moving the freezer, particularly when not vertical, may cause the compressor oil to leak in to the cooling tubing. If you take off the lid inside your freezer, only to discover that your coils are totally filled with ice, take everything out of your freezer and refrigerator, disconnect the power, and allow to thaw for 24-48 hours.
