I went in the garage this morning to take the bins out and the chest freezer alarm light was on! I opened it up and it was certainly warmer than it should be, but everything still frozen thankfully. I've transferred all the expensive stuff to the smaller indoor freezer to save it, but loads of vegetables still in there.
There's no room in the smaller freezer for anything else, so it the freezer dies, so does the food.
I had a fiddle with the 'powerfreeze' button and the thermostat in case that was stuck and I hear the compressor running now. Fingers crossed it is working again and the high temp alarm was due to the lid not being closed properly
I'm not too bothered about the freezer dying if it does, its the waste of food and money it causes that would upset me. I've had that freezer 20 years, so it doesn't owe me anything.
