Well, I went out to the freezer in the garage to grab some chicken to thaw for dinner and found that even though it was running... it was barely even up to fridge temps.
This is the second time in the 18 months since we bought it that it has been found thawed out.
The first time, there was a large buildup of ice around the coils and circulation fan, which I assumed was from the freezer being un-level and not draining the thaw cycle properly. I packed everything I could save in coolers and dry ice, thawed everything out, re-leveled it, let it run for a few days to make sure it was working.... and went back to using it.
It hasn’t been six months since the first problem, and there’s no sign of ice buildup this time like the previous one. The fan was running, the compressor was running.... it just wasn’t freezing.
Does anyone make a good freezer anymore. Or do you just pay $500+ and hope it doesn’t bite the bucket right after the 1 year warranty is out?
