Tried here, Sears and Frigidaire. Please check it. Find your model number - AppliancePartsPros.com If it is the type of freezer that uses an evaporator and a fan, was the fan on If no then the compressor start relay is probably niot the problem If the unit uses a mechanical defrost time perhaps the unit is in a defrost cycle. How long did you wait. Defrost usually takes about half an hour.

Did notice thermostat doesn't have that "click" when it goes from off to full on. Also notice a slight"ozone' smell when we first found freezer open. Left freezer unplugged overnight before plugging back in.

I am not sure what the clicking could be. But if the fan comes on the compressor should come on. Below is a site that should help you troubleshoot it. How To Fix a Refrigerator - Appliance Repair Guide - ACME HOW TO.com Also here How to Test Refrigerator and Freezer Compressors Also check each pin to the compressor case (ground) to be sure that a winding is not grounding out. Note the compressor test can tell you if a compressor is bad. It does not tell you that the compressor is good as it may have other internal problems.
