Hi, I have a chest freezer in our uninsulated/unheated garage that stopped working during a recent cold snap. Does hum-click-nothing. The compressor was tested, it has continuity on all three prongs, it’s not shorted, and the amps off two of the three prong combos equals the total of the third, so the compressor seems to be fine. I have checked the current, and tried new start relays and overloads too. Still hum click nothing. Is it possible that the oil in the compressor got too cold so the compressor won’t start, and if so, how long would one need to wait for the oil to warm up (it has been highs in the upper 30s the last three days)?
