Freezer does not restart after a power cut or brief outage until a long time has passed.

Safety first: No immediate repair may be needed; some delay is normal.

Steps:

• Allow time: Many Grundig freezers include a 3–5 minute delay before compressor restart to protect the compressor.
• Check ventilation: Ensure good airflow around the condenser to prevent overheating.
• Monitor behaviour: If restart delay is excessively long (over 15–20 minutes) or the compressor fails to start, test and replace the start relay/PTC and overload protector.
