Purchased a 2-yr old Amana chest freezer off Craigslist last week.
I defrosted it for several days in the garage, scrubbed and hosed it out and plugged it in for 24 hrs before loading it.
The freezer refuses to get colder than 7F (confirmed with a wireless thermometer probe). Currently, it is full of breast milk and three 20lb bags of ice. The compressor also runs continuously, it has never stopped.
I opened the service panel and found this:
This is the first chest freezer I have owned, so I’m not sure what’s consider normal behavior.
Thanks.
