Upright Freezer White
Upright Freezer White
Didn't wait 24 hrs b4 starting freezer put on its side. Motor runs, but it will not freeze anything?
My freezer is a White Westinghouse FU211LRW5 21cu/ft upright. Gets very cold, won't freeze, little black ball on bottom rear has small switch box or motor ??compressor hums gets very hot;copper cables near black ball get very cold;no exterior grate coils appears cooling elements are in the food shelves/racks I do get some frost/ice on rear of top shelf only. Fan is not visible. I have cleaned the bottom of freezer with vacuum and feather duster. Was unplugged for a few weeks before move. Beautiful freezer please tell me it can fixed for less than a replacement.
Sounds ok to me. The compressor will get hot when it runs continuously which it will do until the freezer comes down to the setpoint of the thermostat. The copper "cables" are the freon pipes and should be cold. If it is not freezing by tomorrow morning, start over. Unplug it for a FULL 24 hours. Then plug it in and leave it empty and closed for a FULL 24 hours. By then it should be cold and freezing. If it is not and it is not too old it is likely reasonable to have the compressor replaced or repaired.
