My compact portable outdoor chest freezer turns on (I can hear it when plugged in), gets mildly cool, but doesn’t reach anywhere near the temperature is should be reaching (even on the coldest setting).

Last summer the freezer worked like a charm (drinks were iced after a few hours). It’s an outdoor chest freezer, therefore I left it outdoors over the freezing winter in NJ (maybe my mistake). When I switched it on again this year (after about 8 months), it is “behaving” in the manner that I described above.

I am (obviously) out of warranty and the manufacturer doesn’t want to help me repair it.

The chest freezer is shown below:

Would appreciate if someone could please help me figure out what could be wrong with it. I don’t mind opening it up to check what’s wrong, but I just need to know what to look for and what to test.

Thanks!
