Incoming Power Problem

appliancepartspros

Make sure your freezer is connected to a power source. You can test the outlet by plugging in another small device - if it works, the outlet has power. If not, examine your home's circuit breakers or fuses. If your freezer is connected to an outlet with a ground fault interrupt, try to reset the outlet. However, keep in mind that most freezer manufacturers suggest not using a ground fault outlet for their products.
