My Frigidaire freezer no cooling
My Frigidare upright freezer #lffu14f5hwj not cooling. I put freon in @2psi. Replaced defrost sensor . Compressor runs all the time and very hot to the touch. Control board works with up and down temp. Also will cut unit on and off. Could this be the thermosistor? What ohms should it read? Please help,. Warm regards,. Rom

Hi,
How cold is the evaporator unit getting?

Evaporator coil has not cooled at all. No change with unit on or off.

There is a problem in the sealed system somewhere.
Either the compressor is not pumping the refrigerant through the system, a blockage somewhere in the system or there is insufficient refrigerant gas due to a leak.
Why did you add Freon? Have you measured the high and low pressures in the sealed system to see what is happening? Are the condenser coils getting hot?
Sometimes you can detect if there is a leak due to an oily residue on the condenser coils or on or around the compressor unit. There is a special oil mixed in with the refrigerant which is used to lubricate the compressor and if there is a leak then the refrigerant gas will escape undetected but the oil may leave a trace. This is not always but still worth a look.

Thanks jayeff for your reply. The condenser coils are encased on the back of the freezer. They are not cool or warm to the outside touch. Why is my compressor very hot to the touch and never stops? I do not have gages to check highs and lows. I have no cold air at all. Could the thermosistor be at fault. Many thanks,. Ronnie

No sign of any leak at all
