Thank you so much for this video! We caught our Hisense chest freezer not cooling or cycling at all. After watching you pull the thermostat off and test it, I did the same and discovered I had the same problem. I jumpered the wire and it came back to life. I have a new thermostat on the way. Thanks again!
Hi my Hisense freezer just went out today and I found your vid. I appreciate the video but I was wondering if you had the video on how to test the thermostat with the voltmeter or what to set the voltmeter to, to test it. Hopefully Mine is a simple fix of the thermostat.
Set your multimeter to the continuity setting. This tests if you have a complete circuit or a broken circuit. You can touch the 2 probes together to show you what a complete circuit looks like on the multimeter display. If nothing happens on the multimeter, then you don't have a complete circuit and the thermostat is bad. You can turn the thermostat temperature adjustment, and the multimeter should change readings. I found this using a Google search: The symbol for continuity on a multimeter is a series of left-facing brackets of increasing size, similar to a sideways wireless reception symbol. It may also look like sound waves coming from a speaker or a musical note (♫). To test continuity with a multimeter, you can: Plug the red cable into the V/mA/CAP port and the black cable into COM. Turn the dial to the continuity symbol. Touch the exposed metal tips of the probes together. If the multimeter beeps, the probes are connected and you can test the circuit. A continuity test checks if an electrical signal can pass through a circuit. If the circuit is broken, the multimeter will read infinite resistance, and if the circuit is intact, it will read 0 or close to it. Continuity testing is useful for checking fuses, tracing wires, and detecting short and open circuits.
This is an in-depth troubleshoot like a pro. This way, I found the issue in Hisense freezer, the same model.... same issue at the thermostat area. I'm not sure if I can get the parts WPF34E 1806104. You deserve 100k 👍 ❤
I have the exact freezer and problem. Any link to the website that I can purchase the new thermostat? Just to make sure I buy the correct model. Thanks!
Sorry about that. I thought I put the information in there, but just discovered I had not. Anyway, I dug up the info, and it is now in the description. I hope it helps and good luck with all your repair endeavors.
I have the same unit with a bulb that no longer works. I would like to order a new bulb and thermostat in case mine does the same. Do you have info on the parts you replaced and where you purchased them?
Hi Jason, I bought them on-line from a company called Encompass Supply Chain Solutions. I think they are a distribution warehouse for lots of the major manufacturers. This was the only time I've used them, but they seemed pretty legit. Lamp: HIS K1147376 Thermostat: HIS K1806104 Hope this helps. Cheers, Scott
Hi. I have the same frezzer.. i need to ask.. mine have cold inside but goes ver hot at outside walls. I dont see any condenser fan .. are this work without condenser fan? Why goes very hot at side walls?. I notice this because the electricity goes for one day because of the distribution plant issues here where i live. So when back i notice a few hours later about this hot at walls goes insane . Are this normal? Goes away when reach in side temps? Mines the front light dont work but still work. Or this cause the problem? Thanks
Get a thermometer and see if it maintains the specified temperature. If so don't worry. The condenser is the tubing in the walls, and that's how it gives up it's heat, if no fan, or condenser coil is present.
Scott, how your freezer is placed against the cabinet in the beginning of the video, it appears you are blocking the vent system of the unit. Unless you are in a cooler climate, this might create a problem.
I put pieces of wood on the ground, along the back and cabinet side to keep an air gap all the way around. Also, behind the unit is one of those air vents in the wall of the garage, so it gets lots of ventilation. Great question. Thanks.
@@ScottBelangerVideos The manual states 3 inches in the rear from wall, and 4 inches on the side. the main side I question, is the right side, where the vent is located. It appears you have no where near the 4" required. I'm referring to the 0:02 mark in the video, where you display the freezer.
Great comment. I actually thought about taking the thermostat apart to see if I could determine the problem. But some "destructive testing" would have been fun too.
I love when you said “I’m a genius!” Feels good to figure out something and fix it, great video man.
He is a genius for sure...

Great to hear!
Yeah, that was was it! Thanks Scott! Just the bypass for now. Ordering part. Liked, subscribed etc. Good man.

what is the web site you can order the thermostat for a Hisense freezer
Please check the description. The part numbers for the thermostat and light are in there too.
I have the exact freezer and problem.

In the description
@@ScottBelangerVideosI checked several times but I can’t see it. Thank you though.

Hmmm. This does not sound normal. Can you have a qualified repair person take a look at it?

Whats the part called
Thermostat.

Danfoss Thermostat or universal type
The OEM thermostat from factory parts distributor.
Maybe next time try a "field adjustment" on that thermostat. Give it The Lock Picking Liar treatment?

Part number???
