What should I do if my freezer isn’t running?

Applies to

  • Freezers
  • Refrigerators

Solution

If your freezer is not running, it might be due to one of the following reasons:

  • The control knob is turned to OFF. Simply set the knob back to ON.
  • A fuse is blown in your house, or a circuit breaker is tripped. If this is the case, reset the circuit breaker or replace the fuse with a 15 amp time-delay fuse.
  • The power cord may not be plugged in. Check to be sure the plug fits tightly into the wall outlet. Note: Do not use an extension cord.
  • A power outage has occurred. In this case, you might want to call your local electric company.
