Default Freezer problem

Our freezer has packed in and I've just thrown out the contents.

It's a 50cm wide 'under the counter' Bush freezer kept in the cellar.
Previously, it was very little used - peas, ice, occasional ice cream
and for chilling wine.Â* A few weeks ago I filled it with junk stuff for
lockdown, and it was certainly working two weeks ago.Â* It's only three
years old.

Plugtop fuse is fine as is power socket but there's no current drawn.

Normally, for the sake of £130 I'd just get another, but Argos aren't
delivering.Â* Maybe somewhere else is?

What's the most likely problem?Â* It's a very simple device, no
electronics, no lights or manual switches, just a thermostat control.

I was almost looking forward to the frozen junk food.


Can you hear anything running? Is the motor hot?

If neither, then could be o/c motor to failed thermostat or failed
switch. Many have motor protection which could also have failed.

In short, could be anything without more info.
