The reason my freezer stopped working was because the circuit board had burned out due to a power surge. and it must have cost him labor (about $100 or so plus about $100 worth of parts (maybe more depends on how long and how much the part costs) and advised us to just buy another one. Our Freezer is about 8 years old .old and only $400 plus $50 shipping.They fry easily.So we turned on our washing machine and upgraded all our electronics.Normal surge protectors seem to work differently than this kind-something about the direction, into which the device sends a surge. Maybe someone else can explain it better. You don't understand that I don't need this kind of surge protection if there is no circuit board inside the instrument. You can find that the device/equipment somewhere has a digital display - there are more powerful surge protectors out there than this - we use it for things like toasters etc and more powerful ones for more expensive UV standards.. Au Also, my son ordered a printed About $50 fee from a guy on ebay, installed in minutes and now our freezer is like new. We don't know how to do that, but my son is good with computers and electronic devices. We even had a good and honest handyman - he also has to earn a living and go home. He only took 3/4 of his usual home visit from us to give us this information and to check our freezer. He even tries to give you advice over the phone so he doesn't have to come out and blame you.
