Freezer not cooling at all, interior warm, lights work but no compressor or fan noise

Safety first: Always unplug the freezer before removing panels or touching wiring. Use a non-contact voltage tester if available.

Steps:

• Confirm power: Test the wall outlet with another appliance. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box.
• Check internal light: If the light is off, suspect power cord, plug, or internal wiring. Inspect the cord for damage and replace if needed.
• Thermostat setting: Ensure the temperature control is not set to OFF or the warmest setting. Turn it to a colder setting and listen for a click.
• Access control area: On mechanical models, remove the thermostat housing and test the thermostat for continuity when set to cold. Replace if open.
• Electronic models: If the display is on but no cooling occurs, the main control board may not be sending power to the compressor. Visual inspection for burnt components can help, but board replacement is usually required.
• Call a technician: If you are not comfortable testing live voltage or the compressor circuit, contact a qualified appliance technician.
