My beautiful coffin keezer has died for a second time in 2.5 years.
I tried replacing the start relay and the capacitor but no dice, so it must be a bad compressor. My best guess is that my freezer is overheating and shortening compressor life because it's fully enclosed on 3 sides.
Surely I'm not the only one that has had this issue. How do you make sure the skin of your freezer can reject heat inside the wooden frame?
Is a simple PC fan or three enough? Or do I need to start cutting holes in one side for a vent?
