Formula for excel to calculate years of giving.

That info will be posted on a back plate on the refrigerator.

And if you cannot find anything on the back or inside then hook up ammeter to the unit and measure the amps used after it has been running for about 15 minutes. Then using formula watts = amps times volts (115 in USA) you can arrive at the wattage of unit.

Hello John;

My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.

The formula for changing degrees C to degrees F is:

((31 x 9)/5) + 32

Is that a florescent bulb in the freezer? Or is there some kind of light bulb in the freezer? If so, change the bulb. I'm not being funny. You give no information on what make, brand and year of the freezer to give you any help.

why yes there is. Generally speaking, the head pressure should be around the "ambient +30" rule.
That is, measure the entering air temp to the condenser, say 75 degrees. Now add 30 to that and get 105 degrees. Look at a P/T chart and see what the pressure is for that temp which is about 253 for R-404-A.
The evap on a freezer leads the load so, as a general rule, the evap temp is going to be around minus 10 degrees to get a 0 degree box. Coolers are different. So, the pressure for a minus 10 evap is around 25 or so. But the unit has to be close to operating temp. If the box is warm, naturally the pressure is higher. And what influences the pressure is whether or not it's a TXV or a cap tube system.
If a TXV and no receiver, charge by subcooling. If a receiver, fill by sight glass. If Cap tube, charge by superheat.
Hope that answers your question.

go to this site. It has info that you can contact them and just give them your model and serial and they can tell you. It's just that easy.
Hope it helps.

Sounds like your compressor relay switch is bad but feel the compressor and see if it is hotter then you think it should be. That is easy to tell because you will not want to keep your hand on it long. That would mean a possable bad compressor. Please give a thumbs up for my effort. I could help more if I was there. keep me informed though. The Raz Shack
P.S Just for kicks>>>>>
Is your circulating fan working?
Sometimes they stick and need a shot of WD 40 and then work
it back and forth a little until it wants to take off again. Keep me informed

Use the formula P x I = E where p is 120 volts I is amps and E is watts. On the service plate it will tell you amps. That is the fan the compressor and the light. My frig is 6.5 amps full load. that would be 120x6.5=780watts.

Dear Landport2
Welcome to the site,

You said, you have a Kelvinator chest freezer, model number CFS101SM1W. This freezer is in excellent condition and was working ok. I notice that there was a rust spot on the bottom area so I decided to spray paint the entire inside with the appropriate appliance spray paint. After spray painting the freezer will not cool.

How old was your freezer?
This must be an ancient freezer!

And Unfortunately I was not able to tell you to leave it alone and not to turn it off!
You did not cause this!
Unfortunately it was so old that it probably was already on it's last legs.

Here is an interesting report I just read!

Repair or replace your appliances?

When to pull the plug on your old freezer

It nearly always makes sense to undertake simple do-it-yourself repairs,
such as replacing a gasket on a refrigerator or a freezer.

Typically, you'll also find a troubleshooting section for more-serious problems
in the owner's manual.

Should you pay for a repair or buy a new model ?
The answer depends mostly on the age of your ,freezer
how much you bought it for,and the cost of the repair.

Follow these guidelines:

When a repair makes sense.

If your refrigerator is under warranty or less than four years old freezers),
paying for a repair makes sense.
Note that freezer under warranty might require service from a factory-authorized technician;
readers have found them on a par with independent repairers.

When a repair might be a wise choice.

If your freezer is out of warranty and is four to seven years old,
it might make sense to pay for a repair. Customers generally pay $100 to $200 for a repair.
But you might want to buy a new model even at this stage,
given that today's models are quieter and have added features.
Higher energy efficiency is another plus: Energy Star-qualified models made after April 28, 2008,
are 43 percent more efficient than conventional models built before 2001 and 56 percent
more efficient than those built before 1993.

When it pays to replace.

The repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new freezer.
Data also shows that it doesn't pay to fix a less-expensive freezer
six or more years old .

Thanks to better recycling programs, less than 10 percent
of a freezer you replace is likely to end up in a landfill.

Thank You, HUUUM

over charging can certainly keep it from freezing depending on the pressures how much it is overcharged the sealed systems on whirlpools have a five year warranty with your history id call whirlpool cust relations and discuss this problem with them they will help not customer assistance cust relations they are different talk highly of their product and tell them you think you just got a lemon thats all and it hasn't ever worked right now Whirlpool cares about their customers most people believe that the factories just build things to last till the warranty runs out that's not true they want you happy with their product on average one unhappy customer will tell 20 people and that's bad for business they would be happy if you never had a problem with their stuff so give them a call tell your mom had Whirlpool your granny had whirlpool you got your whole kitchen whirlpool this is the first Whirlpool you've had a problem with so you think it just must be a bad unit let me know what they tell you now that's customer relations you want to call ok
