    Hotpoint Freezer coming on then off

    Hey all. We have this 14 year old freezer here, that's been working perfectly up until now.

    No model number at the moment but I'll try get one.

    Basically, it reaches the correct freezing temperature (from what I can tell), but then goes off - everything starts to warm up. Then it comes back on, and the cycle repeats itself.

    It has power all the time while doing this, it just doesn't function properly.

    Does this sound like something badcaps related/repairable?

    Cheers

      Might be dodgy therm.

      Does it run excessively long to cool down the inside? It might be that the refrigerant has escaped somewhat, and the compressor is running until it overheats, shuts off, and cools down again... I think it could be the case, since it is 14 years old.
