Home Improvement Asked on April 8, 2021
I unplugged my GE chest freezer for 3 months, When i plugged it back in the compressor runs but the freezer wont get cold.
The freezer sat in the same spot for 3 months and wouldn’t get cold after it was plugged back up.
The area that the compressor is in is clean and looks like new.
I never had a problem with it until i unplugged it.
Worked when unplugged is all very well, but does not have any impact on what it does (n't do) NOW.
It's dead NOW, recycle it (or waste quite probably more than it's worth trying to get it repaired. Your call.)

With newer refrigerants (since Freon was banned), the seals on the moving parts in the compressor will sometimes dry out and leak if left off for long periods of time. It MIGHT work to recharge it and see if the seals swell up and seal again, but if the seals cracked, it will not, then you have wasted the money for the recharge. Most technicians will simply tell you that it isn't worth doing from a risk/reward standpoint.
