The FFCL1542AW is a manual-defrost chest freezer. Ice buildup is expected over time and must be removed by defrosting as described in the owner’s manual; heavy ice reduces efficiency and can make the freezer seem like it is failing.
When a chest freezer shows power but does not run, the thermostat, start components and compressor are checked in order. Keep the lid closed and monitor food temperature while waiting for service.
