Don't Buy. If you have, fix it with a $10 part
Are you considering ordering this freezer? If so, don't. It is a poorly made piece of trash. If you are one of the poor saps like me that ordered this when it had good reviews then read this before throwing out your dead freezer. My freezer stopped working about a year after buying it so it was outside of warranty coverage. Like a lot of people here, the unit started clicking and stopped cooling. After investigating, I found the problem and fixed the freezer with a 10 dollar part that is available here on amazon. The problem was with the start relay that sits right on the inside of the compressor terminal housing. Super easy to get to. Take off the side panel and pop off the black plastic panel covering the wires going into the compressor. The relay is a little black part that has three wires going into it. Two from the capacitor and one from common power. The part is called QP2-4.7 Start Relay. I got mine on amazon for about $10. The easiest way to tell if the start relay is bad is to shake it once you get it off. Does it sound like there is loose plastic inside? Then it is bad. I also replaced the capacitor with a 450v rated unit while I was in here but this was not REALLY necessary and I just wanted to insure the unit would get good starting voltage from a good capacitor. Hopefully this and some pictures will help people get the time they should have gotten from the manufacture out of the unit.
