I have two freezers in the garage, a single chest and a drawer. A month or so ago I got a loaf out of the chest and it was soft. It's very old and I thought...Right, it's off to Gumtree later for a replacement.
It hadn't defrosted everything so what was salvageable was shared between the drawer one and the kitchen one. I'd checked the fuse in the plug and it was ok. I had put a small jar of water in to see if it started again....there's no light or any power indication on it. A week later, the water was frozen solid. I put a couple of coins on the ice and monitored it over a couple of weeks.
It defrosted again, fuse checked, ok. re-plugged and it froze again ! Conclusion...plug to socket connection. Plugged the garage microwave into the same socket...nothing ! Freezer into a different socket..fine ever since ! Just shows it's sometimes the simple yet unexpected thing that fools you.
