cheers. It's probably a "goner". If you laid it on it's side, you may have allowed the oil and refrigerant to pass into the condenser coils, and you now have a clog in that component, and it wont cool. I would not expect it to cure itself, but you never know. When you power it up do you hear the compressor start/run ? Good Luck, :cool: :cool: :cool:

It was laid on it's side in the back of a transit then placed in position, i have hoovered all round the compressor area etc but it is still dead.
There is no evidence of a loose wire etc, there is however some dust type stuff falling out from inside what looks like a copper pipe with lagging on it which runs the full height of the freezer??????
cheers again

cheers again I've been trying to research this for you, and don't seem to be getting help. I cannot find a CEEDA freezer on the internet, I can find a CREDA web sight. I'm just wonderring, where are you located ? It seems, this unit is manufactured in europe. It may require a 210 Volt 50 hrz circuit, if you're here in the USA , You may need a "drop down" transformer to make it operate. You may have to surf the internet for Better information than what little bit I have. :) :) :)
