canuck the pro: Handyman: I am sorry you are having issues.
canuck the pro: Handyman: I will be glad to help you today.
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: Thanks Mike.
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: Changing power source has not stopped the green like from blinking
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: It was on a grill switch.
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: Now it is plugged into a regular switch
canuck the pro: Handyman: The green LED flashing indicates it is not reaching the set temperature and if an alarm is accompanied by the flashing light then there is a cooling error.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Check to be sure no items are blocking the vent.
canuck the pro: Handyman: If you have recently added a lot of items then leave the door closed as much as you can and it will reach the set temperature again.
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: Where 's the vent?
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: Isn't behind the back plate?
canuck the pro: Handyman: No it is in the back.
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: The back of the freezer is clear.
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: Just keep the door closed?
JustAnswer Customer from Auburndale, FL: It has been closed for ever 24 hours before we attempted to diagnose the problem.
canuck the pro: Handyman: First you will want to check that there are not any items in the freezer blocking the vent.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Inspect the door seal to be sure it is making good contact.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Check for ice or frost around the vent or walls which would indicate a door seal not being aligned.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Pull it out and check the coils and components on the back are not caked with dust.
canuck the pro: Handyman: If so, then vacuum the dust and components and use a coil brush to clean off excessive dust.
canuck the pro: Handyman: While there, check if the compressor is getting hot.
canuck the pro: Handyman: This is the tank looking thing.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Check for any oil substance and the coil connections.
canuck the pro: Handyman: If you find any oil substance and the compressor is very hot then that is pretty strong evidence of a refrigerant leak.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Inspect the evaporator for excessive frost buildup.
canuck the pro: Handyman: If you find excessive ice then fully defrost the appliance.
canuck the pro: Handyman: Fully defrosting includes emptying the appliance and unplugging it and leaving it with the doors open for at least 24 hours then wipe the inside clean with bleach and water to prevent mildew.
canuck the pro: Handyman: If none of this solves the issue and there is no issue with the refrigerant leak then there is likely a faulty temperature sensor or control board.
