I fel your pain MJ. I lost my freezer about 2 months ago and lost all the fish i had from the whole summer and about 100 pounds of deer from last year...steaks, smoked sausage, ground, etc...

I lost our freezer about 3 weeks ago, but caught it before most of it melted. I know the feeling though as we had just slaughtered a steer a few years back and lightning got our deep freezer. We didn't catch it for 2 weeks though! We keep the freezer in the workshop which is seperated from all of the houses. We noticed the flies before we caught it.

flies are never a good sign

well I thought the smell was gone, but after going out for a few hours and coming home I could smell it still, Not real bad but it was there. I may end up getting rid of it?? we shall see.
I am getting a freezer alarm for both freezers this week.

might want to try this sstuff sam's club has called "odeban" or something like that..

I will look into it thanks.

It be a shame to get rid of it as it was a fridge we got brand new 10 years ago, and it is better then the one in my house!

Good thing my wife can't get in the basement, if she saw how clean I got that thing she be having me do this one also!!

You might replace the outlet - a new one would probably grab the plug a lot better. If it's that loose there's probably not a great connection - could cause a hot spot (start a fire) or cause resistance (lower than full voltage - bad for the motor).

I lost a freezer full when the GFCI tripped without me knowing it for a few days - if you got one of those, I'd sure try to not use that circuit for the freezer.

If you can't get the smell out, my wife's got some stuff that gets dog s**t smell out real well - if you need it, email me and I'll ask her what it is.

Sorry man that really does stink.
