John G for Model Number EHL151FXRQ00 The chest freezer compressor runs constantly and even at the coldest setting the food is barely frozen. The seals are clean and close tightly. I checked compressor resistance between run-common-start it is around 12.7 ohms they added up correctly. Checked compressor relay it was around 10.5 ohms the overload had continuity. What do you think is wrong. Thank you.
Answer John, Based on the compressor continuously running and the compressor checking ok then it sounds like the unit may have a leak of the refrigerant. You can do a amp draw and see what the amp draw on the compressor is. If the amp draw is higher than 1.0 amps then it may have a restriction and if lower than .5 amps then it would be a leak.
