How do I know if my freezer is not working?

Why does my chest freezer not start up?
The condenser fan comes on every time the compressor starts up and runs throughout the compressor cycle. Many times dirt will get in the motor’s bearing and prevents the fan from starting and running. If the fan does not start with the compressor, unplug the appliance and try turning the fan blade by hand.
What happens if the freezer does not have an evaporator?
On refrigerators with only one evaporator, the evaporator is located in the freezer compartment. If the evaporator fan is not working, it will not circulate the cold air to the refrigerator compartment. If this occurs, the freezer may still get cold, while the refrigerator will not get cold.

Check the evaporator coils to determine if they are frosted over. If the evaporator coils are frosted over, test each component of the defrost system. The evaporator fan motor draws cold air over the evaporator coils and circulates it throughout the freezer.
Why is my freezer not staying cold?
For a freezer to cool properly, air must be able to circulate. If you’ve checked that the freezer is working but just not getting cold enough, make sure nothing is blocking the evaporator fan. If you have food too close to the fan, air can’t circulate through the compartment, meaning your food won’t stay cold enough.
