Common solutions for: Freezer not working, clicking sound
01 - Incoming Power Problem
If the power cord prongs are burnt, and not making a good connection in the wall outlet, the power cord and the wall outlet should be replaced. The wall outlet will need to be replaced by a licensed electrician. If the voltage to the freezer drops below 105 volts when the compressor is starting, call the electric utility. When this happens the compressor may struggle to start and possibly burn out the compressor windings. The voltage can be checked with a multimeter when the compresser is start...ing.

02 - Compressor
The compressor is a motor which compresses the refrigerant and circulates the refrigerant through the evaporator and condenser coils. Use a multimeter to test the continuity between the electrical pins on the side of the compressor. If there is an open circuit, the compressor is defective. If the compressor is defective, it must be replaced by a licensed technician. If the compressor does not appear to be defective, test the start relay and run capacitor. If the start relay or run capacitor are ...defective, they will prevent the compressor from running.

Highly Likely
03 - Run Capacitor
If the run capacitor is defective, the compressor will be unable to cycle on resulting in the freezer not working. You can test the capacitor with a multimeter to determine whether it's functioning correctly or not. If the run capacitor is bulging or leaking, replace it.

04 - Start Device
A freezer's start device, like a start relay, provides power to the compressor. If the start device isn’t working properly, the compressor may run intermittently or not at all. If the compressor won’t run, the freezer will not cool. To determine if the start device is defective, unplug the freezer and remove the start device from the compressor. Use a multimeter to test the start device for continuity between the start and run terminals. If the start device does not have continuity, or if it sme...lls burnt, replace it.
