I have an EWAVE EWUF5W freezor that when powered the compressor hums for a few seconds then thermals off. Any idea what to check? I assume the compressor but the unit is only 3-4 years old. If the compressor how best to know if it is bad?
Here is a troubleshooting site that will give you instruction on test your freezer.

You should not have any trouble finding the bad part.
good luck.
